Pascal, your advice would be sound only if John Dibbs were simply using
plain, unadorned GNAT.  However, since he quotes SGI's 1-800 number as
showing up in the Gigi abort message, I assume that he's using SGI's
port of GNAT, which I believe exploits SGI's proprietary thread library.
I haven't used this version of GNAT for several months, but the last I
heard was that SGI hasn't (officially) released anything beyond GNAT
2.07 yet, so John may be out of luck.

On the other hand, I assume that, since John's organization has a copy
of SGI's port, they must have bought it from SGI, and it would follow
that they'd have a support contract with SGI (and, by extension, with
ACT).  John, why not call up the 1-800 number and ask for help right
from the horses mouth?  :-)
