Thanks for the fast fix Matthias! It all compiles nicely now.

I see in the svn repository Changelog that there have been numerous  
other changes since the 1.6.1.1 tarball release which I've been using  
till now. I'm a bit concerned about introducing so many changes from  
svn code into a production server. In this situation, would you  
recommend using _all_ the new code from svn, or is it possible to add  
only the new code in mio_tls.cc into the 1.6.1.1 version?
