Upps, I didn't receive this message?...

The usage of unsigned int should only be a problem if the received data
isn't well alligned for
parsing (but this seems to happen right now).

I recognized some other functions in this code-file as well which may cause
the same trouble ...
but there remains the question, whose fault this is (I assume PRO7 & Co.)
