Additional Info.
Found a site on the net that says that if I were to change the line from

if ((tty->count == 1) && (state->count != 1)) {
to
if (((tty->count.counter) == 1) && (state->count != 1)) {

It should compile fine... According to him, it's based/tested on FC1.

I tried it.. and it does not work.. Does anyone have any workaround for
this??
