Strange formatting with indent

[Alex Bligh]

If I feed indent (with no settings, so standard GNU format) the C
structure below, it comes out with rather peculiar output.

Two things are noticeable:

1. the pointers to functions which return a ssize_t are indented by
  more than the others. This is the real ugliness.

2. For some reason we have "char *objname" and "void *buf" but
  "struct frobbit * bar" and "wobjob_t * objlist". Is the
  inconsistency of the space after the * deliberate?
