Distributed objects: can't send simple C struct by value

I'm trying to send a simple C struct by value in a message to a remote
object, but can't get it to work.  Is this a known bug or limitation in
the DO system?  Here's an example of the struct I'm sending:

struct _Msg {
   int a_fill;
   char name[64];
   int b_fill;
};

The problem seems to be that the struct is not getting encoded properly
in the sender.  The encoded object description appears to be correct,
and 'a_fill' and the first part of 'name' appears to be correct, but
the remainder of the structure is garbage.
