When compiling the following program:

   with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;

   procedure Test_1 is
      type Bit_Array is array (Natural range <>) of Boolean;
      My_Array : Bit_Array (0 .. 4) := (others => False);
   begin
      Put_Line ("The size of Bit_Array is" &
        Integer'Image (My_Array'Size));
   end Test_1;

both GNAT and OA on NT report the size as 40 so I wonder if
this is some kind of magic number and where it is coming from.
Thanks,
Jerry.
