That is possible.
Postfix passes a structure by value as a function argument, meaning
that it will take up a larger than usual amount of stack space.
This may violate assumptions about stack usage that are made by
some stack "protection" mechanisms.
The pass-by-value structure is part of a Postfix safety mechanism,
and therefore I am not inclined to change it to work around buggy
compiler features.
