This is a long shot, but try changing the entry for that call in
Appletalk.h so that you're passing a short instead of a char.  For
example, the line should read:

pascal OSErr ATPCloseSocket(short atpSocket); 
                            ^^^^^

I'm not sure if this is the problem, but it may fix it.  I had a similar
problem with DDPCloseSocket and, while tracing the code, found that the
library routine pulled a word (16 bit value) off the stack.  I have
since found a work-around and never tried fixing it this way.

Let me know if it works - I've been meaning to test it and pass it on to
MPW.BUGS at Apple if there is indeed a problem.
