Sorry if this is too off-topic, but I cannot figure out a reliable way
to contact the author of nosh [1], so I put it here in the hope that the
author may notice this:

- if (const char * nl = static_cast<char *>(std::memchr(ptr, '\n', len))) {
+ if (const char * nl = static_cast<const char *>(std::memchr(ptr, '\n', len))) {
            const std::size_t l(nl - ptr);
            std::fwrite(ptr, l, 1, stderr);
            std::fputc(' ', stderr);

This patch fixes the following compilation error:

[1] His homepage says smtp emails sent to him will probably be dropped:
    <http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/contacting-the-author.html>;
    and he uses special mailbox for mail lists (which does not seem to
    accept non-mail-list messages):
