Hi Eddie,

this works with both g++-3.4.6 (linux-x86) and g++-3.4.5 (mingw32 cross
compilation on linux).  Because I vaguely remember some problems with
size-zero arrays, I have also tried

    ...
 	char real_data[1];	// but it is almost certainly more
    };

    enum {
 	MEMO_SPACE = sizeof(memo_t) - 1
    };

which succeeds as well (and I hope yields the same result, i.e., no padding
at the end).
