Hi,

Strange problem ( although smelling to FAQ ) :

- GNAT307 (GNU ADA) on a 386DX system without 387. ( some people
	do like old-timers, don't they ?)
- GNU WMEMU387 installed as SW emulator after problems with
the djgpp EMU387 (FPE if I remember correctly)

>From the moment I use tasking in my ADA (i.e. the diners - example)
I crash with :
	cannot continue from exception; exiting due to signal 0123 
	Page fault at ...
	(stuff)

I guess ( some indications I forgot ) that it probably has to see 
with 387 emulation. The FAQ on djgpp mentions something about
emulation problems.

Now, in a brave mood, I wanted to dig into code and try to debug.
However, from the moment I use a debugger (gdb or fsdb) and just
run the ada-tasking problems, everything goes OK !! i.e. the 
diners-example runs under debugger and crashes standalone.

Here I'm stuck ... Anyone who can assist ?

Thanks
