Padding bytes appeared after introducing of a new 'flags' field.
memset() is required to clear them.

Version 2:
   * Struct initializer replaced with explicit memset(). [Andrii]

This was already applied. Why did you resend?


Sorry, it wasn't me.  Looking at the mail delivery chain:

There is some strange server listssympa-test.colorado.edu.
Looks like someone in colorado.edu is testing stuff on production server.

The simplified delivery chain looks like this:

Me -> relay6-d.mail.gandi.net -> vger.kernel.org -> mx.colorado.edu ->
mail.protection.outlook.com -> namprd03.prod.outlook.com ->
listssympa-test.colorado.edu -> spool.mail.gandi.net -> Me again!

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
