My guess is that there is a QuickC library routine called square() which
is being loaded before your routine, and thus called in lieu of yours.
Another answer might be a #define somewhere, like:

#define square(x)	((x)*(x))

Is there any loader/linker warning message about multiply-defined square() ?
