I had problems with that too, initially.  It turns out UNIX wasn't
defined (YS must have thought it was), so I #defined UNIX in config.h,
which is a platform-specific file.  I got it to compile though; I'm not
sure why you had problems.  BTW, the default compile is going to whine
like nobody's business.  I turned on all the warnings in the compiler
flags in the makefile, and there's a lot of stuff to be warned about.

No, that code is just there for portability.  You may have to repeat
your change if the code is updated, and since I'm not sure why you had
this problem (or why your fix made it any different), I'm not sure how
to change it on my end.

Let me know if you find out anything else.
