Al, can you be more specific? If you're right there is another important
bug lurking. If you're wrong you just scaring us Big Time :-)
I don't find anything wrong with these 7-parameter FNs.

'------------------------------------------------
local FN doSomething(aStr$,bStr$,cStr$,aInt%,bInt%,cInt%,dInt%)
print aStr$;bStr$;cStr$;aInt%;bInt%;cInt%;dInt%
end fn

local FN doSomething2(aInt%,bInt%,cInt%,dInt%,aStr$,bStr$,cStr$)
print aInt%;bInt%;cInt%;dInt%;aStr$;bStr$;cStr$
end fn

FN doSomething("1","2","3",4,5,6,7)  '< -- seems OK in 68K and PPC
FN doSomething2(1,2,3,4,"5","6","7") '< -- seems OK in 68K and PPC
