Since Bill posted to comp.std.c and referenced the (d)pANS, I presume that old (in the sense of pre-ANSI) compilers are not the issue. On the other hand, since he didn't post some sample code and output, I'm also not sure what the problem is. The only such bitfield confusion I know of offhand concerns the rules for structs that have unnamed bitfields. Is that what we're talking about? Karl W. Z.
