Description:
File 'tests/client_test.c' does arithmetic on array name (line 10,128):
     bind[1].buffer= (void*) tm+1;

This fails on some compilers.

How to repeat:
Try to compile it on all build platforms.

Suggested fix:
Replace the line by:
   bind[1].buffer= &tm[1];

Patched like already proposed, done last week - but DB update is delayed.
