     Jim Gleason of Green Hills has just pointed out to me by email that
the Atomic pragma will probably do what I want.  I think it might be
pretty expensive for us, but I'm one of those who believe that expense
in writing long-lived code is usually irrelevant.

     So, if Atomic works I'm now in an odd position.  I'll have to argue
that the 16-but requirement is not a problem for us Ada users but that
it could be severe in other languages.
