the wording of this does not clearly explain the problem, I have
updated the log message to:
pass const empty string to MAKEEXTRALIST macro instead of the
anonymous empty string. the macro uses the argument multiple times
and the logic relies on identical strings having the same address,
which is compiler dependent and not guaranteed to be the case.
.. and the macro itself has now been fixed instead, thanks martin@ :)
