The quick fix is to change the type of the variable. I don't remember exactly 
but I think this problem has to do with a slightly newer Universal Headers 
than the one used to generate Ctlmodule.c.

You could also check out Python sources from the CVS archive (see 
Mac:Demo:building.html for pointers) where this is probably long fixed.
