Thanks for reporting that. I've had my eye on those -Wconversion false alarms 
for some time, and this prompted me to finally get rid of them by installing the 
attached patch. Another fix would be to retain -Wconversion in pdumper.c and put 
yet another pair of XXX_IMPLICIT_CONVERSION lines into the code, but the cost of 
-Wconversion has been less than the benefit for some time, so it's time to omit 
-Wconversion here.
