I'm not on the rpg list, so I cc'd you - hope it didn't hurt too much <g>

We copy things like this and fix them. There're are a couple errors in the
C includes, too, and we just live with them. They've not been fixed in
multiple releases.

Nonetheless, we try to stay with the supplied includes as much as possible.
In C you can wrap them into your own structures, if need be. I forget if
that can be done in RPG - it's not like there is a data type defined with a
DS in RPG, as I recall, so a /COPY gets the whole thing, not just the part
you want.
