Right but the gdb output was showing both union members (nmb & dgram)
for the packet field in the packet_struct

struct packet_struct
{
  struct packet_struct *next;
  struct packet_struct *prev;
  BOOL locked;
  struct in_addr ip;
  int port;
  int fd;
  time_t timestamp;
  enum packet_type packet_type;
  union {
    struct nmb_packet nmb;
    struct dgram_packet dgram;
  } packet;
    ^^^^^^
};


Becasue of the was the byte was laid out in memory, 

   **if** (the packet would have been of type DGRAM_PACKET) then

the type would have been B_NODE ( which is 0x0 ).  Since the 
packet was of type NMB_PACKET, then this was irrelavent.

Make sense?  Really was just that I wasn't paying attention to 
what I was reading.  Sorry :)




Thanks again,
