First, don't be too quick to assume that there is a compiler
or run-time bug (this advice is also directed to Tucker :-) :-)

Second, investigate tools that help you make sure your memory
management is correct. GNAT comes with such tools (investigate
gnatmem), and I assume other Ada 95 technologies have similar
capbilities.
