Hi Jerry,

while I can't say anything about the details, your patch and way to 
seperate 4.3 and 4.4 looks indeed good to me.

-      char pad[16 * sizeof (char *) + 32 * sizeof (int)];
+      char pad[32 * sizeof (char *) + 32 * sizeof (int)];

Without knowing any details or having thought through it, I just wonder 
if this could be a problem with 4.3 compiled programs vs. 4.4 library? 
Not necessarily because the library tries to access the "extended" 
fields (which it should not do with your seperation of course) but maybe 
some issues with memory allocation or something like that?  But probably 
we're safe here, too.

Yours,
Daniel
