Hi!

I have a record (struct) for interfacing uname(). The record looks like

type myStruct is record
  sysname : chars_ptr;
  nodename: chars_ptr;
  release : chars_ptr;
  version : chars_ptr;
  machine : chars_ptr;
end record;

I guess Pragma Import works well, but if I try to output the content
via Value(varname.sysname) & ... &... it cannot handle a null-pointer
(raise Dereference-Error).

Is this the wrong approach?
