Hello, I just cloned the latest git version and removed the commit manually from st.c and put the few deleted lines back in. Now st works just fine again. That's all I can say and I think that was pretty bad-ass of me given the fact that I can only do "hello world" in C :-)
I'd say it's up to the developers if they want to leave this commit in or take it out like I did. I'm just glad I can use the latest version of st again. Andreas
