<<This solution assumes, that the Length of Output_File_Name.Name equals
the length of The_Name. A POSIX_String may have a different length than
the Ada-String, to which it is converted by POSIX.To_String, since
individual characters might get expanded in two or more characters by
this translation. (POSIX 1003.5b Chapt. 2.4.3.2).>>
Sure, this is true from a formal point of view, but do you really know
any system on which this is actually true. I suspect that in practice
the code you refer to does not have a portability problem in practice.
