This patch is a slight optimization; it avoids sending
unused and uninitialized parts of the exception record
to the server.  (This is the other side of
http://winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2007-November/060548.html
Both stand alone, they don't need to go together.
This one is done right.)

Found via Valgrind warning:
 Syscall param writev(vector[2]) points to uninitialised byte(s)
    at 0x40007F2: (within /lib/ld-2.5.so)

when installing Word 97 Viewer, but probably comes up
in many places.
