See documentation of xmlrpc_parse_value() in the manual:
<http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/doc/libxmlrpc.html>.  (It refers you
to the xmlrpc_decompose_value() function, which interprets the format
string the same way).

I don't know; it doesn't crash for me.  There are test cases for this in
the automated tests, so maybe you should run those (int he Xmlrpc-c
source tree, go into the src/test directory, do a 'make' and the run
'test'.  If that fails, let me know and I can look further).

See xmlrpc_struct_read_member() and xmlrpc_struct_size() in the
above referenced manual.
