Sure is, but that's what I got.  I'm not sure why; perhaps it has to
do with alignment of the variables (note that the results came from
the SAME objects--the only difference was whether the 286 program
was running in 16-bit memory or 32-bit memory).  I'll be posting 
XENIX 386 results in a day or two; stay tuned...
