Of course, Keith is right.  What I meant is that variables must be
aligned on an even boundry.  Naturally, you can access every byte after
that, but variables must be word-aligned.  The compiler will,
therefore, "waste space" by padding structures to ensure that each
variable starts at an even address.  Hopefully that was clear to anyone
who read my entire post.  I'll just have to choose my words more
carefully next time!
