Problems with Symbols, High Severity (1)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of 2nd parameter amount_of_files has been changed from uint16_t (2 bytes) to int (4 bytes).	Layout of parameter's stack has been changed and therefore parameters at higher positions in the stack may be incorrectly initialized by applications.
