It's a caller-allocated structure. The function which uses the keywords
structure might be receiving an old (small) structure with no header
element, and as a result might crash trying to look at that element.

(John Peacock's patch to change keyword substitution to use a hash would
be helpful here, although I have some criticisms of it in its current
form.)
