Yes, that stuff got *copied* for KKCC.  The change was actually
introduced in rev 1.28.  Before that, there was an additional

#ifdef HAVE_TTY
  char              underlying_tty_event;
#endif

in the union, guaranteeing there would be at least one member.  That
change was made by Ben, who, in his infinite wisdom provided another
one of the mega-ChangeLog entries my brain is too small for.  I can't
find a hint as to why specifically that change was made there.
