Re: Howto debug seg-faulting Ada 95 code?

["Jeffrey Creem" <jeff@thecreems.com>]

Well. It may be a bug that it is not caught properly but if it were, all you
would be left with is a Storage_Error exception in the place of the
segfault.

You are blowing the stack because you are trying to declare a large
structure on within a procedure (be it the main procedure or a sub
program)..

Either use new or declare the variable at the library level (in a package)
to make it
go on the heap.
