Argh - I didn't realize that two "routines" where involved. For some
reason, when I looked at the initial patch, I only noticed wstandout,
and I thought it was used 4 times.

For the record - my idea was to define a macro such as unchecked_wstandout
that contains the cast, but if we have to do it for at least 2 routines,
there is no real benefit.

I ended up checking in the attached patch.  Sorry about the screwup,
and thanks for giving it a try...
