Hi guys,

Thank you all for the quick reply.

I overlooked the paragraph "Re-exported variant type or record type: an
equation, a representation."  Adding the "type representation" did the
trick.
I needed a concrete type, so the solution to make it abstract is not
appropriate in my case.

Thanks agin.
