Yes, but if you look at that blog, they are allocating space for the /user/ data 
and for the Next/Prev for controlled types and First/Last for unconstrained
arrays in addition to the size specified by allocate.  

I agree I feel it is up to the compiler to provide the correct size to Allocate, 
but the blog would indicate that GNAT does not (or did not..old blog..so 
who knows?).  Does the RM require that an implementation pass the full
amount of memory needed to Allocate when new is called?
