Duh. You convinced me. The callers do it wrong, indeed.
They would have to use local union variables instead of their actual
structs. The parameter of add_worker() should be a pointer to the
union, not a pointer to void.

Obviously the bug normally stays withing populated stack area.
Three cheers for the picky systems !

I'll stop the attempt to reproduce the problem in a smaller program
and rather fix libburn.
(That will result in some testing plight on the less picky systems.)

Thank you for pointing me to this bug.


Have a nice day :)
