No, sorry, you are confused, go back and check the thread, I never said
that there were extra system calls, that was someone else with whom I
disagreed!

As for buffering being mandated, I am not quite sure what you are talking
about here. As I noted, GNAT I/O is constructed directly on top of 
C Stream I/O, so it inherits the same default buffering behavior (and
the same ability to control buffering, see the GNAT RM for details).
