6 would imply a 16bit alignment, I would expect it to
display 8 for 32bit alignment.  I'll also note that after
testing this on another compiler, I was not able to adjust
this number even when I told it to use a different boundary.

According to the above it would appear that data should
be alligned on a 32-byte boundary for structures larger than
32-bytes.  (There are also some other gnifty points in there ;)

Mmm... Assembly...... :9
