Thanks for your help.

I have the maints installed.

By hacking through the code with various debuggers, I have found that the 
code which gives a result on my system sets the fp control word to 
0x0f7f. GCC sets it to 0x0c7a which leads to the program hanging. If I 
use edebug32 to change this to 0x0f7f the program runs and returns 
0x80000000. 
Unfortunately I do not have a reference to the meaning of the fp control 
bits here so I cannot fully understand what is going on.
