Building ethereal 0.10.9 on RH 7.3, I get a
compilation error in plugins/mate/mate.c.

If I remove the "_U_" from line 327 of mate.h, I no
longer receive the error.
# diff mate.h mate.h.new

< extern int mate_packet(void* _U_, packet_info* _U_,
epan_dissect_t* _U_,const void* _U_);

Thanks!
Mike
P.S. Ethereal is a wonderful too! Thanks for all your
efforts. I use it all the time.
