Section 2.2.4.1 (Translation limits) of the May '88 dpANS says
that the minimum maximum size for an object is 32767 bytes.
Does this imply that a conforming implementation must be able to
correctly pass a structure of this size as a function arg (with
a prototype in scope, of course)?  Pretend the struct is a little
smaller to allow for tail-end padding.

I don't want to do this, just checking my reading of the dpANS.
