New C compilers have  the  ability  to  pass  structures  on  the
argument of a function.  Times requires a pointer to a structure.
Thus

is correct.  The second  code  is  correct  no  matter  what  the
compiler.

I just talked with Paul and we agree.  His worked because he used
a trick and had an array instead of a structure.
