Yup - as per my other mail, Ethereal does that rather a lot when
building the CList, and the optimization changes quadratic behavior to
linear behavior.

Mismatches between the layouts of data structures as declared in the
"gtk/gtk*.h" files in the Ethereal source tree and the layouts as
declared in the header files in the GTK+ source (either due to header
file differences - although the header files appear to be identical to
the GTK+ 1.2.6 ones - or due to compiler behavior differences)?
