As a side note. The version 11 brings new incompatibilities breaking old 
code. In some cases X'Access is no more accepted and need to be replaced 
by X'Unchecked_Access.

I am to lazy to analyze whether that it is a bug of feature, just be aware.

I dare say that every Ada style guideline should require 
'Unchecked_Access everywhere. The issue became a permanent maintenance 
nightmare.
