Hi Jose.

Perhaps I was a little unclear; the point is that such a cookie is
missing before

  (define-derived-mode rec-mode nil "Rec"

Therefore, even with autoloads built and loaded, the major mode "rec-
mode" is unbound and won't be loaded unless you manually require
recutils or set up the autoload yourself.  The suggestion is to add it
like so:

  ;;;###autoload
  (define-derived-mode rec-mode nil "Rec"

Cheers
