  I don't have the stuff in front of me, but IIRC, ACT's 3.15p
s-osprim.adb needed a one line patch.  Unfortunately, they use pragma
inline a lot, so a bunch of stuff needs to be recompiled once you
modify that file.  And you need special compile option(s) to recompile
system components.  It's doable, but somewhat tedious.  I'll try to
post my correction, but in the meantime perhaps some kind soul, in
spirit of Free Software, will send you s-osprim.adb from 3.16, which
hopefully has only the single change.
  You originally mentioned discussing this on gnatlist, where at least
one other user tested and found the same behavior.  I presume that was
also using Gnat 3.15p?
