I take it then that the problem has at least been put on the bug list to be investigated and fixed as time and circumstances permit addressing the problem?
While I do not know when Frank put bugs on the official bug list, problems signalled on the mailing list do get attention. The following patch should fix problems with packed records: [...]
Usually I put them on my copy of the bug list immediately, but I don't always update the web site quickly. Recently I was very busy with other work, so I couldn't look into the issue. Even if Waldek made the fix already, I had to do the administrative work (bring test programs in correct form, write entires for the ChangeLog and (fixed :-) bug list), and I wanted to check for myself that everything is correct. I've done this now (fb[12].pas, gale[34].pas).

BTW (and here I go into newbie mode) how can I check if there is after all any physical difference between a packed and an un-packed record? Is there something like a length() to measure a record's size in memory??
