<<Is this deliberately different in the NT version, or should we maybe

Don't file a bug report, there is no bug here. You wrote an erroneous
program (a program that violates a check that is suppressed is
erroneous). Erroneous programs can do anything they like, including
raise the exception anyway.
This demonstration program does not really demonstrate anything. If you
ran it and it deleted your system disk, you would no doubt be surprised,
but it still would not be a bug!
And no, there is no reason to expect erroneous programs to behave
the same on different versions of GNAT, or even on the same version
of GNAT from day to day.
