This worked. 

I don't mind this limitation though as I expected to eventually pipe all debug data to SQLite. I'm surprised that Windows doesn't give me any useful feedback about the problem, especially since this problem appeared to have occurred before main thus out of reach of debugging. 

Wouldn't it be the Ada way to scream violently before its death instead of quietly accepting its fate? I have a feeling Windows is inherently the problem here.
