Whoops yourself. The following patch brings your example into line with
the driver code. mpuout is a pointer to a structure not the structure itself
as the malloc assignment clearly indicates.

***************
*** 2,8 ****
  
  
  struct foo { int a; int b; };
! struct { struct foo foo; } *foobar;
  
  int main (void)
  {
--- 2,8 ----
  
  
  struct foo { int a; int b; };
! struct { struct foo *foo; } *foobar;
  
  int main (void)
  {

Now Prints:

	8
	4
	4
