This is a bug in the 5.10 version of the compiler.  The compiler will crash
if fed an ODD CONSTANT to a #pragma routine taking more than 8 parameters.

You can get around it by changing the code to

>      NewModifyProp(gadget, window, NULL, epi->pi.Flags,
>                    0, epi->pi.VertPot, 0, epi->pi.VertBody, tmpint);

We apologize for the bug and will fix it in the next maintenance release.
