This seems to be the same problem I had, except I was finding
unexpected "aliases" between different fields in a record.
Potentially nasty, because it can happen in otherwise well tested
code used with unusually large data. Be aware of and work around
the various limitations. Doesn't GNAT 3.14 fix some of these?
Can (any of) you confirm whether the problem occurs with GNAT on
64-bit processors (Alpha etc.)?
