Hmm...  Defining the "size_t" datatype should be done with careful
consideration.  It must be the same type as the argument of the malloc()
library call, which I believe on your system is "unsigned int" rather
than "unsigned long".  Is this true?

I believe you are right.  The first and second "types" in the function
name should refer to the external and internal types, respectively.
Try changing the above function call to 

        return putNCvx_long_int

and see if things work.

[Glenn -- is the above correct?]
