EC_POINT_point2oct() problem

[Frank]

Want to understand why (or is this wrong).  When I call 
EC_POINT_point2oct() given a curve of size say 192 or 384.  It always 
returns a size 1 greater then one would think. i.e. 192 yields 25 and 
384 yields 49. Should it not be 24 bytes and 48 bytes? i.e. 384 bits/8 
bits-byte = 48.

Is there some extra stuff here?

Thanks,

Frank
