Hi!
---

Recently I had a strange problem while trying to compile a piece of
ISDN config software named ESTIC. The software includes <sys/types.h>
as well as <machine/console.h>, which ends up in an error which states
that type key_t had been redefined. Is this a bug in the include files,
or is it correct that both include files define a type named key_t ?

<sys/types.h>

typedef long            key_t;          /* IPC key (for Sys V IPC) */

<machine/console.h>

struct key_t {
        u_char map[NUM_STATES];
        u_char spcl;
        u_char flgs;
};

I'm running FreeBSD -current compiled on Wed Sep  4 02:55:48 MET DST 1996

Any help appreciated.

Regards, mickey
