This is a known bug in 5.10 - sometimes on a 68000, passing an odd integer
constant to a #pragma routine causes a guru.  It doesn't happen on a higher
processor (68010/68020/68030).  The workaround until a fix is available is
to assign the odd constant to a variable and pass the variable.

The reason the pragma was commented out in 5.05 is that the 5.05 compiler
didn't support #pragmas with more than 6 parameters; 5.10 does.  The
pragma itself is correct, it's the odd constant that is messing it up.
