Thanks for the info, and another question - since there is probably other stuff to check, are there any other different alignments between i386 and x86_64? IIRC, I saw with gdb that int are 4-byte aligned even on x86_64 - how does it go for 2-byte and 1-byte wide fields? -- Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".
