Coverity also complains about the way we calculate the offset (starting from the address of a 4 byte array within the header structure rather than from the beginning of the struct plus 4 bytes) for SMB1 SetFileDisposition (which is used to unlink a file by setting the delete on close flag). This changeset doesn't change the address but makes it slightly clearer.
