Well, thanks for pointing this out. I'd forgotten that the offsets will change with platforms, even though one of the reasons I was attracted to c2hs was because I didn't want to have to worry about that myself. Looks like I put that concern a little too far outside my thoughts! The API is definitely not the same on every platform. There can even be size variances on the same platform depending on the C library's build options, which is yet another item that needs to be done on the end-users machine.
