	Huh? structure-hacks?  If by not doing it a window exists in which
WaitIO()/CheckIO() will crash it most certainly is not a structure-hack.

	But as I said, I do not know if the "need to set the ln_Type field
to NT_MESSAGE" bug was fixed or not.  Can anybody at C-A say for sure that 
all IO devices now set the ln_Type field properly for asynchronous requests?
