That's more work (unless you happen to have the debug-libraries available).
But compare spec in frames #3 and #4 - it's broken in #4 but not #3.

Perhaps the latter - it's going _into_ AllocateAnsiColor() with a usable
value.  If you set a breakpoint on AllocateAnsiColor, you should be able
to see the proper stack (just to check gdb).

I'm assuming there is a type-mismatch someplace - someone thinks that
a type is 64 bits where it should be 32 (or the reverse).
