Maybe your vendor made some changes to get it to build?

(Agreed, in an ideal world this could not be the case, however vendors

 Abbreviation: "Realtime Blackhole List". A
   service that allows people to blacklist sites for emitting
   spam, and makes the blacklist available in real time to
   electronic-mail transport programs that know how to use RBL so they
   can filter out mail from those sites.  Drastic (and controversial)
   but effective.  There is an
   RBL home page.
