I have the same problem with GNAT3.07! I am also using a 486sx.
What I do is run the program from the command line by entering the name 
of the executable file only. DO NOT use the gexecute <filename> command, 
the program will crash.

Also remember that GNAT3.07 only recognizes the first 8 characters of 
your filename.
