Hm. The problem with that is that you need
	offsetof(... u.action.category ...) + 1
still since the *offset* is 24 and the size is implicit. Going beyond
that in the offset calculation would be even stranger... I think 25 is a
sufficiently non-magic number since everybody knows 24 is the "normal"
header length, and it matches the style used in this file elsewhere.
