Most are changed in functions in life.el itself and produce compiler warnings. Unless there are objections, I will install the following patch. My previous message to the author could not be delivered, which probably means that the file is no longer maintained. I am pretty he would no longer want to help anyway. Thanks for fixing these; would you please install your patch? Also please add ;; Maintainer: FSF to indicate that it isn't maintained by the author any more. It would also be useful to verify that the code initializes these variables when it should.
