My news access program seems to have mistakenly transported me to comp.os.wars.mine-is-better-than-yours or some other place away from the usually polite comp.lang.ada. > My post was a bug report, and a suggestion that perhaps you not > distribute binaries with broken optimizers for the 3.10 release as you > did with the 3.09 release.

There is an established channel which ACT has set up for bug reports. For that matter, there is a separate Chat list which ACT maintains for discussion of GNAT issues among non-supported customers. Either of those would be more appropriate for one of these DID-SO, DID-NOT "discussions". Although it is quite possible that ACT has made a mistake, in the case of free software for which the source is available the prowess of the person who claims an error would fully demonstrated by pointing out the lines which cause the error.
