Description of problem:

Hello there,

I have just tried to compile package rsync-2.5.5-1 from Redhat 8.0

Here are some of the messages the compiler produces

cc: Info: token.c, line 200: In this statement, the right shift count "8" is greater than or equal to the size of the unpromoted operand "(char)n". 
(rightshiftovr)

Here is an untested patch to shut up the compiler.

./token.c.old ./token.c
*** ./token.c.old	Wed Dec 25 10:15:44 2002
--- ./token.c	Wed Dec 25 10:16:08 2002

*** 197,203 ****
  			write_byte(f, n >> 8);
  			if (write_batch) { /* dw */
  			    write_batch_delta_file((char *)&n,sizeof(char));
! 			    temp_byte = (char) n >> 8;
  			    write_batch_delta_file(&temp_byte,sizeof(temp_byte));
  			}
  		}
--- 197,203 ----
  			write_byte(f, n >> 8);
  			if (write_batch) { /* dw */
  			    write_batch_delta_file((char *)&n,sizeof(char));
! 			    temp_byte = (char) (n >> 8);
  			    write_batch_delta_file(&temp_byte,sizeof(temp_byte));
  			}
  		}


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile with any C compiler that sanity checks shift counts, for example Compaq C.
2.
3.
