Make sure you're declaring IPCGIVE as an intrinsic. Because it's option
variable, it has an extra hidden parameter that gives the number of
parameters passed. Incidentally, if you haven't discovered this already,
failing to declare an intrinsic with #pragma intrinsic can be the source of
some insidious bugs. Sometimes, especially for procedures with only a few
parameters, everything will look like it works correctly, but one day the
registers will be a little bit different by accident, and...
 
I've called IPCGIVE from C with no problems.
