Thanks.

I'm puzzled why the mw_components Dynamic_Array seens to work without
me, as user of the generic package, doing anything different (as far
as I see) when using that package from what didn't work with GNAT
dynamic tables.  The GNAT code appeared to work, but crashed when
element #167 or so was added to the table.  The Dynamic_Array 
appears to work for as much data as I have (about 1500 entries in
my table), but is it likely that there will be a lurking bug in 
this usage?  If there is something about an Unbounded_String that
means it must be initialized before it can be assigned to, how  could 
that initialization happen to the mw_conponents Dynamic_Array 
components when I don't pass the generic any initialization procedure
or anything related to initialization?
