It turned out that the problem was a buggy patch inserted to work around a
problem with a beta test version of Orca C 1.1.  That problem was fixed. 
Currently I know of only two problems in Orca C 1.1:
1.  lseek() doesn't work in ORCAGLIB.  Byteworks coded an LDA 0008 when it
should have coded an LDA 08.  Patchable.
2.  += and -= don't work for long stack variables.  Can corrupt the stack. 
Use a = a + x; instead.  
Otherwise, ORCA C is a fine ANSI C compiler.  Support the IIGS!  Buy Orca C!
