struct	{
	char	foo[25];
	int	bar;
	}	array[10];
on a PDP-11 (for example) reserves (25+1+2)*10 bytes of storage.  The +1
is required to perform word alignment (not necessary on VAX).  I don't
know why your bug happened; most likely are (1) coding error or (2)
compiler bug.
Incidentally,
typedef	char	foo[3];
really does make "foo" a 3-byte long data type (amazing!).
