The equivalent link for CE (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms939172.aspx)
mentions the field is present, but it wouldn't be the first time the field
wouldn't be present in current CE versions. I'll have to confirm. It mentions
the same 0x22 offset which makes me suspicious that this was just
copy/paste/forgot_updating, which happens a lot! I'd have to check if the
pointed to structure has the same format/layout. ARM WinCE implements SEH
similarly to x86_64-Windows, not to x86. Plus, I don't think WinCE has support
for fibers, while the 32 structure you added includes mention of it. Certainly the
%fs comments aren't aplicable to ARM. :-) Where did you find the
descriptions/layouts of those structures?
