All these warnings come when we call isspace(character). Apparently, on your
machines isspace() is a macro that uses its argument as an index to an array.
Not much we can do here. I bet casting the argument to (int) would cause
warnings on other platforms. :(

Ignore the warning until somebody writes a patch that replaces all isspace
occurrences with xisspace(), a system-dependent cast-and-call macro...
