<<Running this with ObjectAda 7.1 on Windows 95, we get Constraint_Error
at the call " Process(Base_Class(V1)); ", which is expected since we are
attempting to store a pointer to Der2 in a variable of type access Der1.
GNAT 3.10p on Windows 95 does not raise Constraint_Error here, so I
suspect it has a bug. What compiler are you using? please submit a bug
report!

Right, of course a Constraint_Error must be raised. That is clear (the
discussion was about whether or not this program is legal, which it
definitely is!)
