Re: controlled types and streaming

I turned this problem up a short time ago and posted questions here
about it. The dominant opinion is that it *should* work, but is an
apparent bug with GNAT 3.13p. You might want to post an example that
duplicates the error and we could compare notes to see if it is the same
problem.
