I have a function with the protoype of "DWORD __stdcall PtrUShortCall
(DWORD_PTR ptr, USHORT num)". This crashes Win32::API 0.68 with
DEBUGGING Perl 5.12. VS 2003 was used to compile Win32::API 0.68 and the
test DLL and the DEBUGGING Perl 5.12. Changing the USHORT to a DWORD in
the string prototype given
to Win32::API makes everything superficially fine. Changing USHORT to
SHORT causes same exact crash. Changing USHORT to short fails, see way
way down for output of this test case. If I run testdll.pl
on the commandline, the error is "Can't call method "Pack" on an
undefined value at testdll.pl line 8.", if I run it in VS debugger,
which includes the Win32 debugging heap, I get a crash, because of the
BAADF00D poisoning. testdll.dll was generated by running compile.bat. I
am 32 bit Win XP.

origST array seems to be uninitialized garbage, 8 is "good sized" number
