And I'd say it would be far better if the code said error because a) code
that tries to access that member *will* get an error and b) the layout of
the structure changes, which is fatal when used in a driver like nfts to
map on-disk structures.

This I'll do with pleasure :) Seems they've dealt with MS code far too long.
BTW, as it's now clear that this isn't a 3.2/3.3 regression, could you close
