Unfortunately,
you can't figure out the number of arguments to a function (on a 68000)
by looking at the stack frame, as Nathan Myers asks.  The frame pointer
gives only the same information as the stack pointer at entry to a
function, and at best can tell you how much local stack space is being
used by a procedure at any moment.  This doesn't include arguments passed
from the caller.
