Oops. Mistake in the commit message. It was supposed to be: Prefer 'unsigned int' to 'unsigned'. The text in the file is correct, but the commit message not. I will fix it. Thanks for spotting it. The rationale for this is only to uniform the style across files. I have counted the two forms and they are used both with ~50% occurrence. From C language point of view they are 100% equivalent. 'unsigned int' is easier to handle in scripts for automatically generated patches. Antonio
