+Subject: [PATCH] dix: make RegionInit legal C++
+
+The CVE fix in:
+
+    commit 97015a07b9e15d8ec5608b95d95ec0eb51202acb
+    Author: Alan Coopersmith <alan.coopersmith@oracle.com>
+    Date:   Wed Jan 22 22:37:15 2014 -0800
+
+        dix: integer overflow in RegionSizeof() [CVE-2014-8092 3/4]
+
+offended the C++ demons:
+
+../../include/regionstr.h:147:45: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to
+'pixman_region16_data_t* {aka pixman_region16_data*}' [-fpermissive]
+
+Normally this isn't a problem, because around here we have the sense and
+common decency to not use C++, but this does make tigervnc fail to build,
+which is a little rude of us.
