Sizeof behaves incorrectly with some unions

[Jason Stokes <jstok at bluedog dot apana dot org dot au>]

Trying the code:

struct formata {
 	int opmode: 3;
	int opcode: 3;
};

struct formatb {
	int opcode: 6;
};

union format {
        struct formata;
	struct formatb;
};

union simple {
	char a;
	double b;
};

.
.
.
.

printf("The size of union simple is %i\n", sizeof(union simple));
printf("The size of union format is %i\n", sizeof(union format));


Output: 
The size of union simple is 8
The size of union format is 0
