In our case, it _was_ a CISC-RISC issue.  The programs tested out fine on our
development 320 (mit 4 processors) CISC box.  They only failed after being
promoted to the production 530 "stress test" environment, and restored on the
50S we use for Y2K testing.  A quick re-compile with the proper field
reference (they were mistakenly pointed at the "length" field for a QCMDEXC
call instead of the file date) and the programs worked like champs on RISC!
