This has been fixed in the CVS version. "resume_from" shall be a ssize_t.

It would be neat if you'd get a recent version from CVS (or a recent
pre-release) and re-tried. All your mentioned details (should) have been
addressed.

The same here. foundsize should be a ssize_t.

Plain mistake. That function should be declared to return a CURLcode.

They are perfect changes.

Uh. Obviously this needs to be fixed... I've not seen this problem before. If
you could dig up some more on why this happens and possible how to fix it,
I'd be grateful.

The test suite is unfortunately not as portable as the rest of curl. I need
assistance to make it so!

Generally though, if you make it compile and build, it works.
