I'm building with that version right now, to check (seems to work - but I'll
try with your configuration settings).

yes - or the functions "handle_LYK_xxx" that I split-out of the main loop.
That would be possibly better (since chopping out the main loop would leave
a lot of orphaned private functions, while chopping out the functions themselves
would just leave a lot of implicit declarations).
