The casts to size_t where introduced by myself some days ago. Previously they where casted to long. The TYPE_FIELD_TYPE macro returns a pointer to a struct type. Treating this as (unsigned) long is pretty correct on *nix style systems but not on windows. On 64bit windows a long is still 4 bytes long, so the downcasted value is simply wrong. Roland
