Hi Jim,

Okay, I will do that, and re-test, and then commit.

I thought about trying the __packed__ attribute but I am allergic to
__packed__ because I've seen that word in too many bug reports.  My gut
feeling is that hand layout is safer.

This is the last of the "easy re-arrangement" patches.  Next I will
write an essay about the minsyms 'info' pointer, which really bites,
and submit some cleanup patches for that.
