Thanks. I just wasn't sure if my problem was an openBSD problem or an assembly
problem. It's definitely the later. And I just found the amd64 ABI, which is
making the problems clear for me. Pushing those args on the stack is
definitely wrong.
Anyway, I appreciate the feedback. And thanks Art for pointing out that the
assembly was wrong. That put me on the right track to finding a solution. The
recent threads about the notes section just confused me and put me down the
wrong track.
Thanks,
Brian
