Re: integer'image

You are getting the exception because there is always a space at the beginning
of an integer'image for a '-' sign.    

Try this one:

procedure make_a_string( thing : string  ) is
    len : natural := thing'len;
     this_string : string(1..len );
begin
      -- do whatever
end;

for x in 1..20 loop
     make_a_string( integer'image(x));
end loop;
