My suspicion is that it may have had something to do with dynamic memory allocation. I had the system administrator bump up the size of the page file and shot any other running applications in the head and it seemed to get better. Periodically, it would rear its ugly head again and logging out and logging back in (again with no other running applications) and it would go back to working. We never tracked down the exact problem except that fooling with the amount of available virtual memory seemed to help it out. The GNAT compiler could certainly use some exception trapping or, at least, better error messages when this happens. I hate Unix!
