 I've subsequently noticed that the sizeof() returns zero for an empty C 
 structure while returning one under C++, presumably playing a role in 
 this problem.  Is there a mechanism to encourage C++ to collapse an 
 empty structure to zero bytes?  If so then perhaps that would circumvent 
 the reported problem.
