    Use the strict prototype checking option under Lattice.  These kinds
    of problems are usually related to forgetting to prototype *every*
    instance of the function and/or forgetting to prototype the function
    itself.

    Unprototyped functions/calls that take floats actually take doubles.
    prototyped functions/calls take the appropriate type, float or double.
    It depends on the compiler, perhaps the PC's do not implement this
    aspect of prototyping completely (which isn't wrong, just not
    efficient).
