In general, Ada/DCE interfacing is not 'reliable' due to the
interactions (and lack thereof) between Ada tasks and DCE threads.  Do
NOT expect this to be fixed anytime soon.  

The Ada community worked hard to get the forthcoming POSIX threads
standard to be 'Ada Friendly'.  We were only partially successful.
Once POSIX threads comes out, Ada RTS vendors can work on integrating
Ada tasks and POSIX/C threads.  

In the meantime, strange things can happen...
