Thanks. It looks like that <<= report has uncovered a bug in the way that
ctypes lays out bitfields: in the following, BITS.M should (I believe) look
like: <Field type=c_short, ofs=4:0, bits=1>. Instead, ctypes is trying to
store a bitfield starting at bit position 17 of a short, which doesn't make
much sense.

>>> from ctypes import Structure, c_int, c_short
>>> class BITS(Structure):
... _fields_ = [("A", c_int, 17), ("M", c_short, 1)]
...
>>> BITS.M
<Field type=c_short, ofs=2:17, bits=1>
