[Simh] Compile problems with SIMH V3.7-3

VC 2003 disassembly:

if (cptr) {
00441905  cmp         dword ptr [cptr],0
00441909  je          rq_set_type+0C9h (441969h)
     cap = (uint32) get_uint (cptr, 10, 0xFFFFFFFF, &r);
0044190B  lea         eax,[r]
0044190E  push        eax
0044190F  push        0
00441911  push        0FFFFFFFFh
00441913  push        0Ah
00441915  mov         ecx,dword ptr [cptr]
00441918  push        ecx
00441919  call        @ILT+55(_get_uint) (43403Ch)
0044191E  add         esp,14h
00441921  mov         dword ptr [cap],eax

MinGW gcc 3.4.5 disassembly:

     cap = (uint32) get_uint (cptr, 10, 0xFFFFFFFF, &r);
0x0041822d <rq_set_type+104>:   lea    0xfffffff4(%ebp),%eax
0x00418230 <rq_set_type+107>:   mov    %eax,0x10(%esp)
0x00418234 <rq_set_type+111>:   movl   $0xffffffff,0x8(%esp)
0x0041823c <rq_set_type+119>:   movl   $0x0,0xc(%esp)
0x00418244 <rq_set_type+127>:   movl   $0xa,0x4(%esp)
0x0041824c <rq_set_type+135>:   mov    0x10(%ebp),%eax
0x0041824f <rq_set_type+138>:   mov    %eax,(%esp)
0x00418252 <rq_set_type+141>:   call   0x4093c5 <get_uint>
0x00418257 <rq_set_type+146>:   mov    %eax,0xfffffffc(%ebp)

It seems that in both cases the compiler is pushing 5 arguments
to the stack/(%esp) before calling get_uint?!
Could there be any flag regarding the length of MAXINT (0xFFFFFFFF),
that the code is missing?

you at all?

Yes, both simhv37-3-exe-ether.zip and 
simh3.7-3_visualc++2005-ethernet.exe.zip work just fine. I guess VC 2005 
produces different code than VC 2003. I don't know how the other package 
was compiled.
