That's odd - I don't see anything obviously wrong with it, as it's
returning "cur", which points to the beginning of one of its static
buffers, rather than "p", which starts out point into that buffer and is
used to deposit stuff into the buffer.

You might want to single-step through it to see if

	1) there's something wrong with it that I'm missing

or

	2) there's some other problem, e.g. a confused compiler.

Padding?  Microsoft weirdness?
