The warning indicates a security defect in the GNAT runtime.  In fact,
I have reported this defect on 2000-04-16 to report@gnat.com, even
before the warning existed.  Check your bug tracking system. ;-)

The GCC CVS contains an attempt to fix this defect, but it introduces
a different, probably more serious security defect.
