Might have to do with the fact that class members are free to be rearranged 
by the compiler.  The compiler may not know the offsets of the members until 
a later phase.

The posted example is pretty much the same as the one from the doc (see the 
Classes page about Field properties). I haven't gotten offsetof to work.
