Does it mean that in gnat 3.13 , ADA code will have to include a
resetting call before each float_text_io.put,
or will this be done automatically by the compiler ?
What about other function or procedure using floating point chip ?
(simple "*" or "/"  for example)
After test the problem occurs with gnat 3.12p, but not with Aonix
ObjectAda 7.1 for example, so not every
program using floating point chip is affected by this problem.
