You misread the documentation - it's a 32-*bit*
boundary that the LONG variable must be on. The malloc()
call that is currently used trivially meets this requirement.

As for the volatile marker - I believe the code is also
correct without it, since the owned field is only accessed
through initialization and Interlocked operations.
