Yeah, those two warnings are caused by the same problem, namely that I
was editing this function to make it simpler and apparently the patch
version I sent does not include all such changes.  The fix is to remove
the message_type variable and have the two assignments be "return".

True, +1 for removing it.

Doesn't enlargePQExpBuffer() include room for the trailing zero?  I
think it does.
