Problems with Symbols, High Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Parameter longitude of type *doublerestrict** has been added to the calling stack at the middle position.	Layout of parameter's stack has been changed and therefore parameters at higher positions in the stack may be incorrectly initialized by applications.
