sound really as some bug.. and similar to system() call.
my versions is:

��- it could be that strings are expected to be 16-byte aligned

��- that there's some bug with converting to null-terminated C string

Great! It's be nice to get this and system calls working in one shot... how do we proceed? How do we test? I'm willing to help...

if there some bug, it must be in NBExternalString

which responsible for marshalling strings.

try to change the alignment for the pointer and see how it goes in

reserveStackBytes: numBytesOrBlock andStoreAddrTo: aTemp

because right now it aligns the total space to reserve on stack

(amount to subtract from SP), but not SP itself

alignment should use powers of 2 , of course.
