There are similar issues with short/int/long, but not as severe. short
arguments are cast to int in K&R and not in ANSI. Because of alignment
issues, short are generally aligned as ints under ANSI, which means you
have uninitialized bytes on the stack with an ANSI prototype.  Generally
this isn't an issue

Yeah, and then we get to turn on the 'normal' warning flags and clean
all of them up. Thanks for helping out, btw.
