I think 8. Nevertheless, even if I was wrong...

so if there is 4 bytes of zero being returned they should also have their bytes set to zero as a part of the assignment, no?

...this would not work either, since they are returned in a FPU register which has nothing to do with $r3. Besides, generally with floats a zero bit pattern might differ from a zero value (frankly, dunno how it is with PPC -- one might check in docs, it would be there, I just have no time to search just now).

Eeeagh! Duh! Consider me slapped upside the head with a clue-by-four. Thanks.
