Others have reported this bug, but given that "wiretap/buffer.c" has
only 144 lines, clearly the C compiler in question is extremely confused
- especially given that other compilers with the name "gcc" appear to
have no problem compiling Ethereal.

I'd suggest reporting it as a bug to Apple, and see if they can either

	1) explain in what fashion we're violating the C standard or
	   some other standard

or

	2) fix their compiler/header files/etc. so *it* doesn't violate
	   some standard.

(I'm also going to forward it to somebody at Apple, but having somebody
who's spent money on Apple hardware and software complain as well might
add some fuel to the fire.)
