Has anyone had problems with VAX Ada sequential_io and direct_IO when
instantiated with a discriminated record type which has an unconstrained
component.  I keep getting use_error raised when doing a create or open.

example


type foo(a : integer) is
	record
	   f1 : string(1..a);
	end record;

even if I restrict the range of 'a' by using a subtype of integer, or
create an integer type with a restricted range I still get a use_error.
In addition to the use error, an RMS error is listed as max record size 
exceeded.
