Yes, once fixed it will be a regression test nightmare for Rational.
For example, if you do the following, don't expect it to work over a
remote pipe.

with Text_IO;
procedure Hello_World is
   Text : String(1..100);
   Len : Integer;
begin
   loop
      Text_IO.Get_Line(Text, Len);
      Text_IO.Put_Line("[Hello World] " & Text(1..Len));
   end loop;
end;

$ rsh ilab-02 hello_world
eat me
where is the response?
[Hello World] eat me
what?
[Hello World] where is the response?
what?
[Hello World] what?
thanks
[Hello World] what?
you suck
[Hello World] thanks
bye
[Hello World] you suck
