We used to have rep spec's very early in a previous project, but one
of the other team members found that pragma Pack did the work as well
for Solaris, so we decided to do without rep specs. We thought it was
a good decision when the number of similar records increased over 500.
Now we are not so sure anymore. The before mentioned team member
thinks it is a bug and will probably submit a bug report to ACT.
