I'm in favor of debugging incorrect programs. But was the OP interested in debugging Gnat or in running some program, and getting correct output, of his own? Also, isn't that version of Gnat already obsolete and replaced by a less buggy one? Suggesting that ACT or somebody knows about and has fixed the bug. And stepping through with a debugger is such a tedious method of debugging it's pretty near a last resort, for me at any rate.
