AHA! The light dawns!!!
In fact that struct is a union of structs and comes from the OS-9/68000 
sgstat.h file.

It seems to me that the curses.lzh archive may be mis-filed, and should be 
with the OS-9/68000 files. I think this format is used to make the one 
sgstat structure suitable for use for a number of IO streams, such as RBF, 
SCF, SBF, and socket (INET).

It would need some rewriting to make it suitable for OS-9/6809.
