PVFS encodes using a 64-bit blocking scheme; so if a 32 bit variable starts
at the beginning of a 64-bit block and then a 64-bit variable comes next, we
insert an additional 32 bits so that the 64-bit variable starts at the
beginning of the next 64-bit block.  Whether you need the additional bits
depends entirely on the structure being encoded.
