gcc on Linux is warning of an assignment that removes 'const', in a situation where the function's argument is const and the function then mutates via a local pointer. Removing 'const' from the argument silences the warning and makes it clear that the argument may be changed; or if that's not true, a more explicit cast could be done, so the compiler knows that part of it is constant and part isn't. Attached patch removes 'const'.
