I agree that the contiguous type repeated bufcount times is determined
from the extent of the buftype, but in your example I believe the
extent is 4+sizeof(int)--that is, the extent includes the size of the
hole in the datatype. On the other hand, the size of the datatype does
not include the hole and would be just the sizeof(int). I am not
convinced, therefore, that there is any difference in tiling using
buftypes and tiling using filetypes.
