Similar code works for me (debian, gnat).

It seems to me that code like the above can fail with Constraint_Error 
only if str is the null string, in which case len = 0, which causes a 
Constraint_Error in the call because the 2nd parameter of Replace_Slice 
is of subtype Positive.

Are you certain that your "str" is really that, and is not a null 
string? I would put a check in the code, before the call of 
Replace_Slice, and not trust the exception messages.
