No problem.

This is what i wanted to know.

I just want to know what some messages appearing on STDOUT are exactly 
about, since they might give a hint about some configuration problems. 
For this reason i removed some "if !verbose" from the sources etc.

I didn't (and still don't) worry about security relevant buffer 
overflows, as i think OCAML should avoid them (as done in java for 
example), correct me if i'm wrong.
