This was probably due to the compiler using structure alignment on word
boundaries (not type size) in which case you should be able to use:

#pragma pack(1)

    typedef struct _xmsg
    {
        /* ... */
    }
    XMSG;

#pragma pack()

To align structures on byte boundaries.  This isn't portable to all
compilers, but I think it works with all versions of GNU C.

Maybe you did this already.  ;-)
