I doubt that any of these warnings will cause the problem that you are 
experiencing. They are caused by me being a very old C programmer  and 
not keeping up to date with newer C compilers - which seem rather picky 
these days.

I am presuming that you are using 'client' for ax25 connections. If so, 
then are these incoming or outgoing connections? If you are using them 
for telnet connections then there are better ways of doing that (you 
don't need the client program, see:

http://wiki.dxcluster.org/index.php/Configuration#Setting_up_telnet_connects_.28from_1.47_onwards.29

for more details.

Please give us some more information as to what you are doing, whom you 
are connecting to and how.
