Odd failure when running a RPG program -- RNX9998

Actually David those are the symptoms I've seen most often when a parameter
mis-match occurs.  Under some conditions the compiler pre-initializes the
data pointers that are going to be used on subsequent calls.  It just makes
the call faster than doing it dynamically.  If the called routine corrupts
storage in the caller, then the error will not be apparent until the second
call.

Note that if it is a bound call, an attempt to use a parameter that was not
passed can just as easily cause this kind of error as a mis-match in
parameter length.
