Just urm, >dont know what to do about it :) I don't know if this assumption is correct, but it usually works for everything else. Some compilers (I'm assuming) require a 'dt != NULL' in there, instead of just 'dt'. GCC doesn't have this problem as far as I know, but other compilers ya never know. like some require a break; statement EVEN after a return; statement in a switch() {} shrug, wild guess.
