That's an easy one.  Your problem boils down to the simple failing test 
case:

#define N 15

int func(arg)
long arg;
{

	printf("%ld", arg);

}

main()
{

	func(N);

}

The preprocessor does straight text substitution, so you get:

	func(15);

It should be obvious that 15 will be treated as an int (16-bit in LSC).
Your function expects a long.  Mystery solved.

Next!
