Paul, when you use the value of an unpassed parameter, you use whatever
happens to be in storage where the parameter would be if it had been
passed.  When it's a pointer, it's unlikely that there will be a valid
pointer there, but it's not impossible.  Eventually, a valid pointer
will happen to be there, and unpredictable things will happen when you
access the parameter.

You first have to check %parms to see how many parameters were passed,
and then once you know a parameter was passed, you can check for the
address being null.
