It was my own little bug and gcc-4 just uncovered it. I created a temp buffer on the stack as an array of type BYTE, even though the data stored in the buffer requires a ULONG alignment. With gcc-3 this worked because the buffer was for some reason correcty aligned. gcc-4 apparently organizes the local vars differently so the buffer ended up on an unaligned address and the NT function returned status 0x8000002, STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT.
