This is a FAQ. The problem is, when an Integer_IO.Get fails with a
Data_Error, the offending characters aren't eaten up. They remain in
file input stream, ready to offend again.  Clearly, your exception
handler needs to do something more than simply re-trying the Get: It
must clean out those offending characters.

Try doing a Skip_Line.
