Thanks for the fast reply. No Problem to work around this one, but there are 1788 succ() calls :-o in our applications :-)
That was the only one that did not compile. All others did compile, but some of them will probably not work.

If its considered a bug i'm fine. Is there already a bugtracker id? Should i add a bugreport?
