Has anyone using the Alsys compiler V3.2 seen any problems as below:

15    type Fix is delta 0.01 range -1.0 .. 1.0;
16    My_Fixed : Fix := Fix'Last;
                        ^______^
                        1      1
1 :   *EXP Value outside the range of the target type. NUMERIC_ERROR will be
            raised if executed.

This error is very confusing to me as the syntax appears perfectly legal and
the operation also looks fine.

Other compilers (Rational, DEC) compile it and execute it just fine. Who's right
and who's wrong? and more importantly, why?
