You did not respond to my point here. Larry Kilgallen appeared to
be saying that Ada *programmers* were more immune to this kind of
error, either because Ada's checking gave them more time to find
higher-level bugs, or because Ada programmers were of a higher
class. You therefore have illustrated *my* point exactly, that Ada
programmers have made the same oversight that occurs in many other
environments.
