Intel Fortran uses a different set of conventions than Compaq Visual Fortran that affect the interfacing to C. I am not quite sure how we cover that, but apparently you have found problems with the current code.

How does this change with the later versions of MSVC (7, 8, ...)? (I usually try to avoid getting involved in these issues, but I do not always succeed.)
