This may have a simple fix, but it has me perplexed.  I have used several
different Ada compilers (Ada 83 and 95) on different types of Intel based
systems and keep getting the same results.  When I use Get_Line and enter
more characters than the specified string will hold; the remaining
characters stay in the input buffer waiting for the next Get.  This causes
an exception to occur.  My fix is to execute a Skip_Line after each
Get_Line, but this seems inefficient.  Any ideas, or reasons why I am
getting these results?
