Which C compiler?  msc and rcc both handle such functions differently.
For a function called test, taking three parameters (int, char, int), and
returning a structure, msc passed in 16 bytes, and got rid of 16 bytes after
the call; rcc passed in 16 bytes, but only got rid of 12 bytes afterwards.
*sigh*
