Here are the arguments to clnt_call() in the old SUN RPC.

static enum clnt_stat
clntudp_call(cl, proc, xargs, argsp, xresults, resultsp, utimeout)
    register CLIENT *cl;        /* client handle */
    u_long      proc;       /* procedure number */
    xdrproc_t   xargs;      /* xdr routine for args */
    caddr_t     argsp;      /* pointer to args */
    xdrproc_t   xresults;   /* xdr routine for results */
    caddr_t     resultsp;   /* pointer to results */
    struct timeval  utimeout;   /* seconds to wait before giving up */
{


The last argument may be the problem.
