Hi! I've finally carved out time to look at this, and I've figured it
out. My prior redzoning fix was actually wrong; I'll send a patch to
fix it harder. In the meantime, I've also discovered that the redzoning
code wasn't safe for sizes smaller than sizeof(void *). This oversight
is, I think, what caused me to incorrectly handle the changed offset the
first time. :P
Anyway, patches incoming...
