yes, the size difference is the part that's puzzling me.

the example makes perfect sense.  the part that still confuses me is
that i found this problem in the ecos sources which are compiled for a
variety of targets with gcc so i assumed that the sizes are the same on
all the different targets they've used and the size difference is just
showing up with the target i'm using.  anyway, thanks to all the people
who helped me out with this.
