Heh, and I was worried that you had already though of this, so I must
have been wrong ;)

Indeed, "character types" (including unsigned char) are exempt of the
strict aliasing rules.  C99 6.5:

An object shall have its stored value accessed only by an lvalue
expression that has one of the following types:
— [...], or
— a character type.

Apologies for the noise.
