This problem occurs on other systems as well. I have encountered it on a
MicroVax running Ultrix. Lint provides an interesting analysis indicating
quite a few call problems. I have not looked into it very far, but I wonder
if the problem is dependent on the size of variables (e.g. on a Sparc an
int is 4 bytes, but may be only 2 elsewhere). I also note that the Sparc
is a bsd machine, while Ultrix is System 5 (I think???).

If someone finds the cause of this problem, many of us would appreciate
knowing the fix!
