Subject: [Moscow] 20.3-b6 is giving a lot of warning/error messages while running...

Hi,

I just compiled the old 20.3-b6 "Moscow" version, it compiled nicely
on Sparc-SunOS 4.1.4.

Before I send a success announcement, I try to test it, but:

1)If I try to build all the `elc' files, I'm getting a lot of messages 
  related to:
      `Comparison between integer and character is constant nil (?\, and 0)'
  or
      `Comparison between integer and character is constant nil (0, and ?\)'

2)If I take the `elc' files from the tar file, all is nice till I get
  into bbdb. I copied the bbdb files into the site-lisp and then I try 
  to compile the relevant bbdb files. During the compilation I'm
  getting the same warnings again, but I decided to ignore them...
      `Comparison between integer and character is constant nil (?\, and 0)'
  
3)Because my environment is to use BBDB with VM, the first time I try
  to get into VM, or any operation inside VM causes hundreds of
  messages related to the previous warning, for example:
  
 Comparison between integer and character is constant nil (?\, and 0)
    [mail-extr-voodoo, mail-extract-address-components,
     bbdb/vm-get-from, bbdb/vm-update-record,
     tm-bbdb/vm-update-record,  run-hooks,
     tm-vm/preview-current-message,  vm-summarize, byte-code,
     <compiled-function  from "vm-startup.elc">, call-interactively]
 ...
 Comparison between integer and character is constant nil (0 and ?\`)
    [mail-extr-voodoo, mail-extract-address-components,
     bbdb/vm-get-from, bbdb/vm-update-record,
     tm-bbdb/vm-update-record, run-hooks,
     tm-vm/preview-current-message, run-hooks, vm-run-message-hook,
     vm-preview-current-message, ad-Orig-vm-next-message,
     vm-next-message, ad-Orig-vm-delete-message, vm-delete-message,
     call-interactively] 

Any hint?
