What is wrong is that not all operating systems define those facilities
in the same way.  Ada programmers moving such code from one platform to
another should be forced to read the definition for the particular OS
to see if it still matches the expectations of their program.

VMS has about three such calls, with varying effects.  Which one should
an Ada compiler invoke ?
