You might like to know that this isn't Ada95 specific: the text_io
supplied with Ada83 compilers from Alsys and DEC behave differently
on the example you give and give a different count of the number of lines 
in a file if if has blank lines before the end of file.  The VAX compiler 
sees these empty lines but the Alsys does not.
