Whoops yourself. The following patch brings your example into line with the driver code. mpuout is a pointer to a structure not the structure itself as the malloc assignment clearly indicates.
*** x.c-orig Sun Jun 17 13:19:33 2001 --- x.c Sun Jun 17 13:19:42 2001 *************** *** 2,8 ****
struct foo { int a; int b; }; ! struct { struct foo foo; } *foobar; int main (void) { --- 2,8 ----
