Hmmmm that's strange. Perhaps since the CIF argument array is passed in 
by the client then we do need to respect pb->nrets since the client has 
allocated the appropriate memory? What happens if you simply add the 
missing "0" from r732 in forth/system/ciface.fs to r731 and leave 
libopenbios/client.c as it was?
