Hi,
There's a bug report from a guy running Mac OS X 10.6, perl 5.10.0 and gcc-4.2 where every instance of New() generates a warning - eg: 
Random.xs:13: warning: format not a string literal and no format argum
+ents

[download]
is in response to 
SV * Rgmp_randinit_default() {
 gmp_randstate_t * rand_obj;
 SV * obj_ref, * obj;

 New(1, rand_obj, 1, gmp_randstate_t); /* line 13 */
....

[download]
Google supplies plenty of hits for the warning, but I haven't yet been able to understand why that particular piece of code should produce that particular warning - and I don't have access to a machine that exhibits the behaviour.

Has anyone struck (and solved ?) this before ? It's not critical, but it would be nice to quiet those warnings.

Cheers,
Rob
