Ok, when my brain kicked in I realized that I created the bug :-)

I had defined an interface like:
typedef char stats_t[50 + 1];

struct my_struct {
    stats_t stats;
};

and in the server-code I did:

char stats[50 + 1];
my_struct m;

memcpy(m.stats, stats, sizeof(stats));

which obviously isn't the right thing to do....
