I don't understand exactly what SI:FOREIGN-DATA-RECAST is for here, but the OFFSET argument to %MEM-REF is a raw byte offset, not an element count, so adding it to the base pointer instead of multiplying it by the size seems like a reasonable thing to do here.

That patch was sent in by Michael Goffioul.
