The compiler that I use restores the stack after calling a
function with a large number of parameters.  I'd be very surprised
to see a C ABI definied any differently (except in special
circumstances), since correct behavior in this situation is
mandated by the C standard, as well as the need to maintain
compatibility with non-prototyped (pre-C89) code.
