>Description:
This structure:

struct msh_header
{
  char charid[3];
  int objs;
};

is evaluated as a 8 bytes size object.

It sould be 7 bytes. 

It seems that aligns data to a 4 byte boundary but this is not what should happen cause structure MUST be 7.

Even this will be 8 bytes

struct msh_header
{
  char charid[1];
  int objs;
};


And this 12 bytes size:

struct msh_header
{
  char charid[5];
  int objs;
};

>How-To-Repeat:
Just compile this code 

#include <stdio.h>

struct msh_header
{
  char charid[3];
  int objs;
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   printf("Size %i should be %i",sizeof(struct msh_header),7);

return(1);

}
