No, there are no tasks (except the predefined "environment task"), and 
its a vanilla "console" application, not a GUI one. At the point where 
it stops, the application has not had any special interaction with the 
O/S (Windows in this case), but later on it starts a couple of child 
processes with text pipes (in Unix-speak) in and out. The child 
processes work in small jobs and, as I said, in large jobs the program 
stops before it comes to create the children.

I'm not excluding a programming error such as some uninitialized 
variable, but I'd be happy to exclude a heap-size problem first. Maybe I 
should write a small test program to see how much heap I can allocate 
with my usual compilation and linking options.

I seem to remember a discussion on comp.lang.ada, perhaps a year ago, 
about heap size with Gnat in Windows, but a google search did not turn 
it up.
