I see that the file posted is an older version of find.c with the deprecated function GetInt(). It has been replaced with get_int(). Are you using the current version of the pset distribution? Have you run update50 in the IDE recently? Or are you running in another environment? My guess is that these problems are due to outdated code and/or environment.
