Try this:

 struct scroll_bar {
-
-  /* These fields are shared by all vectors.  */
-  EMACS_INT size_from_Lisp_Vector_struct;
-  struct Lisp_Vector *next_from_Lisp_Vector_struct;
+  /* This field is shared by all vectors.  */
+  struct vectorlike_header header;

   /* The window we're a scroll bar for.  */
   Lisp_Object window;

This is Windows-specific and obviously wrong since sizeof (struct vectorlike_header)
is now _less than_ sizeof (EMACS_INT) + sizeof (struct Lisp_Vector *).
