The "variable lenght strings thread" has touched on the case of using
Ada.Text_Io.Get_Line with a string on the last line of a file that does not
contain a file terminator.  In this case an End_Error exception is raised.

Question: when the End_Error exception occurs, is anything known about the
value of the parameters to Get_Line?  Does the procedure still return
meaningful values?

I suspect it is compiler dependent, since I didn't manage to find any
explanation in the LRM.
