  This bug has probably been reported before, but here goes
anyway ...

  Either the documentation for "dial(3c)" is incorrect or the
code for this routine is wrong.  Specifically, the "dial()"
documentation describes its parameter as:

    CALL *call;

whereas, the code uses the following declaration:

    CALL call;

  In keeping with the precedence of parameter passing by many
other routines, the calling convention described in the
documentation should be the implementation of choice.
