Re: [PATCH] bug 764: Fix option_value initialization on sparc64

Please test the 0.11/bug764 branch shown here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/elinks/kon.git
That should contain the required commits from elinks-0.12 and a
simple patch that fixes union option_value when ELinks start up.
(It makes some assumptions outside of standard C, but at least
the code should be more portable than in ELinks 0.11.6.)

I may make some further changes to the branch if I find a bug
there.  (That seems unlikely to happen before Friday though.)
When reporting results, please mention the commit ID you tested.

If OpenBSD has dlsym(), then casts between data pointers and
function pointers have to work.

For the last 12 months, there have been plenty of bug fixes
and almost no new features in elinks-0.12.  Crashes are rare,
especially if you keep ECMAScript disabled as is now the default.
I've been trying to keep track of regressions compared to
elinks-0.11; only bug 1066 (in IDN) is left, and I suspect
elinks-0.11 has a similar bug itself.  However, the future fixes
for bugs 1066 and 771 may cause new bugs.
