I've sent to www.adapower.com a patch to fix a problem with the Clocks
in Gnat 3.14p. The problem is described in
http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q274323&
and occurs in certain circumstances on PCs with chipsets from
Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS)
Acer Labs, Inc. (ALi)
VIA Technologies, Inc. (VIA)
Serverworks Corporation
Intel Corporation
If the code
End_Time := Ada.Calendar.Clock + 10.0;
while Ada.Calendar.Clock < End_Time loop null;end loop;
runs in a fraction of a second instead of taking ten seconds, then your
system has the problem. It's not clear to me how common this hardware
defect is, but these are not obscure chipset vendors.
