Hello all,

I'm a bit confused by the following behaviour. Please consider this simple
program (a much larger one reduced to its minimum):

---8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--
with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.Strings.Unbounded; use Ada.Strings.Unbounded;

procedure Bug is

   type A_1 is array(1..1) of Unbounded_String;
   type A_2 is array(1..1) of A_1;

   type Rec is
   record
      f: A_2 := (others => (others => Null_Unbounded_String));
   end record;
   
   var: Rec;
begin
   Put_Line("START");
   Put_Line("END");
end Bug;
---8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--

When I run the program, both strings are displayed, but the program doesn't
exit: it just keeps running, eating 75% of my CPU power.
Playing a little bit with a debugger (I'm an absolute newbe with gnat_gdb),
it seems I'm looping into a "bug__clean" function, more precisely somewhere
in "system__finalization_implementation__finalize_list" or
"system__finalization_implementation__finalize".

Compiled by GNAT-2006 (the latest release) or by the GNAT provided with
GCC 4.1, both give the same behaviour.

If I change the "A_2" in the record for "A_1", then everything works fine.
If I remove the aggregate to initialize the "f" component, then everything
works fine.

What's wrong with my code ? Is it a GNAT bug ?

Any hint or workaround would be much appreciated.

Regards,
