According to Christian Bockermann:

I have a little question concerning variant records and packed arrays. [...]

According to myself (Peter Gerwinski):

!! You have discovered a bug in GPC: The compiler had forgotten to store the capacity of the string in the variant record. I will fix it as soon as possible - thanks for the report.

To work around, manually assign `x.rec.name.capacity:= 3' before you assign a value to `x.rec.name'.

Here is the fix:

In `util.c', function `contains_file_or_schema_p()', change

case RECORD_TYPE:

to

case RECORD_TYPE: case UNION_TYPE:

Then it works.

Greetings,

Peter
