It is vital that the structures that are marked packed do not have any
padding inserted between the fields.  Some compilers do this to give
fields improved alignment.  If your compiler does not support packed
structures (it may support them, just using a different syntax to gcc)
then you must also make sure that it does not insert padding into
structures (i.e. it effectively packs everything).
