The union is 32-bits on x86-64. On a typical 64-bits architecture, the 
compiler will add 32-bits of padding to the outer structure so that the 
pointers are aligned on their natural boundary. But that has no consequences 
on the union or the inner structure.

There may be a portability issue but definitely not on x86-64 and the patch is 
definitely wrong anyway.
