Unless I am mistaken, the DEC VAX-11 C compiler generates code for
any function argument that you try to get an address of. The result is
instead of getting the address of the actual stack argument, you get
a copy. This "feature" prevents the porting of programs that have
routines that use variable number of arguments like printf...

Is there a way I can turn off this overly protective stack argument
copying??
