Although it _should_ work, both Orca/C 1.3 and 2.0 have some problems.
Try these in order:
	1.  try ...(exact_match ? NULL : (unitptr) n)))
	2.  try ...(exact_match ? (unitptr) NULL : (unitptr) n)))
	3.  try pulling the above fragment out of the if() statement
	    as a separate function.

Good luck, I would really like to see this package (especially if it's
incorporated into MuGS).
