Just to note I'm not a programmer at all (I'm doing this, because the
code is so clear and I really need the changes) so do trust my code at
all :P
In any case there would be enough with checking the return value of
mlength, if it's greater than 0 then there's a message, otherwise,
it'd depend on how it's initalized.

Since I've been compiling/testing a lot the smsd these days, I've seen
an error that appears both with the standard and the patched source.
In the build I was using last week this error wasn't there, It's not
fatal, so just sending the output to >/dev/null works and I still can
send messages.
I attach the debug (everything was compiled with ./configure
--enable-smsd and the config is exactly the same I was using before)
For more data I launch with /usr/local/bin/smsd -t bluetooth -m file
-c /var/spool/gnokii/ -f/var/log/smsd

Cheers
