Logical structures missmatch memory positions

hi Everybody.
I have a missmatch between the union/struct definition and the memory contents.
Here's the code:

/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- */
union f8 {
    struct  f8_in {            /* IN */
        unsigned char add;                            
        unsigned char fun;                            
        unsigned char SN[SN_NODO];            
[B]        unsigned char CRC_H;
        unsigned char CRC_L;                        
[/B]    } in;  
    struct f8_out {            /* OUT */
        unsigned char add;                        
        unsigned char fun;                        
        unsigned char SN[SN_NODO];        
[B]        struct info info;                        
[/B]        unsigned char CRC_H;
        unsigned char CRC_L;                        
    } out;
};
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- */
struct info {                /* Info */
[B]        unsigned short  id;    
[/B]        .....        
};
/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- */

.... after running:

memcpy ( (char *) &f8.out.info, (const char *) &info, sizeof(struct info) );

[B]The word (CRC_H:CRC_L) (in struct f8.in)  DOES NOT MATCH  info.id (in struct f8.out)  memory positions!![/B]
(In fact, there's a 1 byte shift in memory locations)

[B]Is this a compiler ALIGN stuff ? [/B]:confused:
[B]Could it be solved ?[/B] :confused:

Thx in advance.
Gustavo
