It's dead easy - especially if, when you first start using access
types heavily, you forget that Ada doesn't have a garbage collector to
mop up all the dross you've left behind.

On Solaris, try
df -k /tmp
If the swap space size is gradually decreasing (not just the free
stuff, the actual overall area) then you've probably got a memory
leak.
