For what's it worth, I just installed Gnat 2006 for Windows, and 
converted your test procedure.  By using the -Xlinker 
--stack=0x10000000 on it, I was able to successfully run big 64000 on 
XP (technically, Tablet PC).

So either you need to use the -Xlinker variant, or there is a 
limitation in the 3.15 version of the compiler.  Or you are using an 
older version of Windows that doesn't support this.
