You're kidding!  Hasn't somebody fixed this problem *yet*?  I heard about
this problem back in 1988, and at the time I thought it was only a problem
with SunView.  I never heard about any fix for it, though I seem to recall
that Sun and the Ada compiler vendor were each pointing fingers at
each other.  But I would have thought this problem had disappeared by
now.
