It was an endianess problem, and 3.37 does work as far as I can, at least for bitfields based on 32 bit types. I don't believe it worked for bitfields based on 16 bit types however, which is what my original fix was all about (that and 64 bit bitfield support). Unfortunately my previous was wrong on big endian platforms. A fix has just been committed to CVS and a patch against CVS is attached.
