Thanks for the report. We fixed this upstream by adding the package;
we were using the [H] directive specifically in those two sections to
keep the packet layout at the top of the section for easy reference.

With the current source text, [!h] seems to work well enough, but [H]
is more robust since we needed to be specific there at some point
during development.
