 i think you misunderstood me.
 
 i'm saying, use the ideas present in that change as a way to
 diagnose this problem, which _may_ be a similar problem (but
 not likely the same problem.)
 
 the other patch is a way to find missing conversions similar
 to the change above.  i'm still tempted to commit it to get
 better diags in this case, but i'd like it to be less #ifdefy.
 (it also has a matching change in netbsd32_syscallc.c, and
 needs one for i386.)
 
 thanks.
