We get this type of error from Sun Ada (aka VADS) occasionally.  It's
tough to comment on your particular error without the source code.
Generally, it means that you have illeagal code that the compiler
couldn't handle.  Clearly, this is a defect in the compiler.  It should
emit an error message related to YOUR code, not the compiler's.

Go back to your code and inspect what you just added before you got
the error.  Look especially for interactions between language features.

On the other hand, we got this error most recently when compiling on a
SPARCserver 10 and it went away when the file was recompiled without
change on a 4/490!  But, this has been the exception rather than the rule.
