Hummm, I wonder if that structure gets written out to disk?

If so, I'm thinking the the mm4 solution, ifdefing it out, may result in 
Reiser4 filesystems created on 64bit platforms not being compatible with 
those on 32bit...

Yur __attribute__((packed)) would be the correct solution in this case.
