ATC is almost never a good idea. I wonder how it worked in your case. Maybe
because the default socket timeout was incidentally close to 2 sec?
In any case you should not expect Ada run-time aborting outstanding OS I/O
requests. In some better world, but not under Windows or Linux.
A proper solution for blocking sockets is to close the socket from an
independent task and catching socket error when it propagates or else to
manipulate the socket timeout before starting any blocking operation.
