If this dumps core, you have an installation problem. This
program should raise Data_Error and certainly does when I
run it:

   raised ADA.IO_EXCEPTIONS.DATA_ERROR : a-tiflau.adb:88

Of course since you have no handler for data error, the
program is terminated. Go study the use of exception handlers
in whatever text or tutorial you are reading, that's what you
need here!
