problem with constrained arrays in descritiate records w/ GNAT305

problem with constrained arrays in descritiate records w/ GNAT305

[James Conley]

I sure hope that someone around here can help me out.  I am writing a
program for my Ada Data Structures class where I have to implement a
Polynomial package and I'm using GNAT for MSDOS 305s under win95 and
every time I try this program it crashes upon compilation. The version
below will work & compile but if I remove ANY of the commented lines
in the main procedure (even the ones right after the begin statement
that duplicate lines further down) it will crash upon compilation with
the statement not enought memory for compiler - I don't understand why
I cannot print the ary'first twice without breaking my memory!!!!???
Does anyone here understand what I am doing wrong or if mabey this
compiler has a bug in it?  If you have any idea what I am doing wrong
please let me know via email as I dont read this group but once a
week.  Thanks!
