Was it me, who provided this patch... I can't remember, but I know I
posted a patch for Siemens boxes a long, long time ago.

Unfortunately, I no longer have access to any SNI box. What I remember
is, that I required this patch for both versions of the Siemens
compiler we used, but maybe this is no longer necessary. I can't even
check the manual...

Sorry,
Michael.
