Re: exception access violation

["Jade" <xanshi@gmail.com>]

I shuffled around my code and the error is now

Exception Name        => STORAGE_ERROR
 Exception Message     => stack overflow (or erroneous memory access)

I must adjust the stack size either thru gnatbind or gnatlink.  Not
sure what is best.
