   It does, and sits there elaborating for a long time.  But that is
because the Ada rules were changed.  If someone had ever managed to
validate an Ada 80 compiler I would have been the one writing "QED FLT."

   (Actually, I stated things backwards.  The program only gets
elboration error if it tries to print a counterexample, so it must
compile on an Ada 80 compiler if and only if FLT is true, which is now
believed to be proven.)
