Suppress implicit-conversion warnings seen with newer clang versions.

Suppress implicit-conversion warnings seen with newer clang versions.

We were assigning values near 255 through "char *" pointers.  On machines
where char is signed, that's not entirely kosher, and it's reasonable
for compilers to warn about it.

A better solution would be to change the pointer type to "unsigned char *",
but that would be vastly more invasive.  For the moment, let's just apply
this simple backpatchable solution.
