Problems with Constants, Low Severity (2)

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant NFNL_SUBSYS_COUNT has been changed from 6 to 5.	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The constant NFNL_SUBSYS_CTHELPER with value 5 has been removed.	The value of this constant may no longer be properly handled by new-version library functions.
