Thanks, it's a pleasure! Yes, with packed structs it's important to keep things carefully aligned. Have you seen this post [1] about struct packing? This is what we did for TB's structures, so that we can switch them to `extern struct` for C ABI compatibility. It also helped side step the packed struct bugs.
