Thank you for checking over what I've done thus far.

I noticed this too yesterday and tried correcting it this morning.   
Changing the return
type from Int to CInt didn't help.  The problem will no doubt be  
subtle, yet
entirely obvious in retrospect.  I'll try to get some time to work on  
it in the next
few days.

It's still a bit puzzling why this problem affects FreeBSD, and  
apparently not Linux.
Differences in header files?
