By default, MS VC++ 5.0 packs structures on 8 byte
boundaries. #pragma pack() can be used to force 4
byte packing, for example.  The better way, IMHO, is
to use Project Settings / C/C++ tab, category Code Generation
and force Struct member alignment to 4 bytes ( 32 bits) instead of 8.

I don't think this has necessarily something to do with union
( unless union is the part of the structure) but it is
probably safer to recompile everything with 32 bit alignment
of data structures.
