How does C handle the stack in xenix on a '386?  Does it just use the
classic "calling function pushes arguments backwards and is responsible
for popping them" method, or does it use anything fancier, like frames?

I need a function that will traceback its program, for a replacement
malloc suite to be used to figure out what library doesn't free() 
everything...

Thanks.  In the best traditions of conserving bandwidth, I will 
summarize e-mailed responses.
