Ah, this is true. This result is from the latest binaries at

On the Fedora box I'm using those as well because Fedora's packages
excluded gnatpp -- I've no idea why, but 'dnf whatprovides */gnatpp'
returns nothing and none of these packages provided it:

   fedora-gnat-project-common
   libgnat-devel
   libgnat-static
   libgnat
   gcc-gnat

For now I can just use whatever --par-threshold= keeps this formatting
away for a code base, and then revert to defaults when a newer build's
available.

Thanks again!
