Yep, I see.

The non-struct cases work as expected from my testing:
echo 'u:test unsigned char msg[20]' > dynamic_events
cat dynamic_events
u:test unsigned char msg[20]

In the struct case you are right, it's missing the size. Good catch!
I'll fix this up!

Was there another case you had in mind that I might have missed beyond
the struct case?

I also would like, since I'm re-spinning, to fix a warning the intel bot
found related to the same code pulled from single_open, etc.
