[Bug ada/19416] ACATS cxa9001, cxa9002 - valgrind detects wrong code (unitialized data passed to syscall)

The uninitialized bytes are normal: the Unit_Type structure is 16 bytes long:
  type Unit_Type is
 record
Position : Natural := 19;
String_Value : String (1..9) := (others = 'X');
 end record;
but only 13 of the bytes are used.  The 3 trailing bytes are not initialized.
This seems to be GNAT policy.  The uninitialized bytes are written to the
file when Unit_Type is.  Valgrind complains about this, and indeed it is a
security leak.  However I don't think it can be described as a compiler bug.
