Peter you have to use the CPYBWP (copy bytes with
pointers MI-instruction). That is the only thing that will
work.

Also, make sure of the alignment of the data members of the struct.  Pointers need to be on a 16 byte boundary and it is possible in C to pack the struct, which might throw off the alignment of the pointers.
