Thanks for the thought, but I don't think that can be the problem.  The 
code works using the FSF compiler from gcc.gnu.org, but not with the Apple 
one.  Both compilers use all the same build tools other than the compiler. 
 In both cases the assembler, static and dynamic linkers are the Apple 
ones.  Arguments are passed in registers by both compilers because that is 
the Mach-O standard.
