Hm, I completely didn't see that it was a union instead of a struct. I still think my fix is actually correct though. Now that you point out the union, I see that my change is equivalent to just removing the '&' char. - memcpy(&rd->key, &fd.key, sizeof(struct hfs_cat_key)); + memcpy(&rd->key, fd.key, sizeof(struct hfs_cat_key)); We don't want to copy sizeof(*fd.key) because that would write past the end of the destination struct.
