Pointer doesn't always fit to unsigned long.

Tricky :) Inline function would be better.

This (== '\0') can hit even if the data is numeric.

You don't check for the length, so

This will never hit.

What does this actually mean? Elaborate, please.

I prefer more meaningful names.

't' is used only here, so

		dbgprintf("%*s%s", (int)(depth * shift), " ", s);
		print_data(p, sz);
		dbgprintf(";\n");

		p = PALIGN(p + sz, 4);

This will work.
