I don't think the sizeof should be a #define like > now, but rather an actual sizeof(). Fair enough. The min/max version stuff would just be a way of allowing older utils to work with newer kernels when teh changes weren't incomapatible, but it was just a suggestion. I also favor axeing hte spare fields and using a real sizeof() as well. > The current #define SIZEOF is unlikely to work on Bruce's i386/64bit-long > kernel for instance.
