Comment (by yawning):

 Replying to [comment:4 cypherpunks]:
 > Converting a pointer to void to a pointer of any object type doesn't
 require explicit casts.

 In C yeah.  I was being consistent with the original code (and the
 upstream), which has the cast, presumably for the benefit of people
 building this with a C++ compiler.

 Anyway, the submitter replied to the bug tracker e-mail confirming the
 branch works as advertised.  If nickm cares about the cast, he can either
 tell me to change it, or change it when merging.
