It was a problem with the FreeBSD header file. I've added some #ifdef's
that fix the problem for FreeBSD, and if it shows up on other platforms,
they are easy to add too.
It took about seven hours from Martin's report of trouble before I
examined it, Vlad posted a possible fix, I coded and committed the fix,
and the compile works. And we're even on 3 continents. :-)
Thanks, Vlad.
