I got the same error when I also created a copy of hack 1.0.2
 My responce was to wipe out the routine that this checker is
 in.  Leave the routine but cut out all the insides.  If I remember
 correctly it is in hack.main.c

P.S.  If there is a better way of fixing this... Please let me know.
      thanks.
