Hi all,

althought the argument about compiller is a bit strange the change is in
my opinion in right course. If the goal is to use those functions only in this
one particular .c file and not elsewhere, the good practice is to
limit scope by using static.

Can You please let us know how to reproduce behaviour You have
described?

with best regards,
    Pinky.
