That's the reply I just received from the borland.* newsgroups. That
just strikes me as *weird*. It explains the infinate spam of warning
messages I get, though, since quite a few pointers are initialized to NULL
and that NULL is never read in. This is not something I think the
Gods'o'Python would care to have fixed, though. Dispite a 'no warnings'
policy :)
