   Eighteen only says that language-defined subprograms are not
potentially blocking unless the RM says otherwise.  Language-defined
here is a technical term applying to subprograms defined by the
Reference Manual.  Sixteen is the key here.  Within Ada, the RM can
define what is a potentially blocking subprogram, outside the
programmer has to figure it out for himself, which is why this is a
bounded error.
