Re: FW: Tidy verbose output bug.

[Mark . Burgess]

Make sure that you compile on this platform and not on a compatible
or different version. The problem might be that a compiler is
picking out a wrong header file for an incompatilbe filesystem,
e.g. 64 bit instead of 32 or something. I think it might be a compilation
problem. Can you try it on any other platforms?
