Hi,

I haven't had time to check the previous report yet.

It is either multi or script, so AND does not sound correct. The code 
should skip the following bit if either of those
flags is detected. I admit I threw in the script bit as an afterthought 
and things went wrong there.

Correct would be if( !(params.type == IH_TYPE_MULTI || params.type == 
IH_TYPE_SCRIPT))

I'll double-check stuff and submit a new patch

Weirdly enough I have gcc 4.9.2 and it did not even beep, so I don't 
know how it could have broken the build.
Give me some time to submit a corrective patch later tonight.

Cheers,

Philippe
