Summary: dde/server.c:580: pointers are not permitted as case
                    values
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-kernel
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
Using 'gcc (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)' I ran into a compile
error with the CVS checkout of wine HEAD after executing '/tools/wineinstall'.

...

I am using RedHat 9 with a native Kernel (no customization) on an IBM ThinkPad 40.

MY WORAROUND

My temporary fix was to apply the following patch, which made me happy, but I am
not sure whether that'll cause other problems or not:
