Re: not handled exceptions

["Greg Bek" <gbek@bigpond.net.au>]

Your code is working properly.

In the first example there is no exception handler in the declarative region
where
the array is declared and the exception raised.

As for why it is hanging, the exception is being raised, there is no handler
at local
scope so the exception is propagating outwards looking for a handler.  I'm
guessing
it is reaching the outermost scope of your program and then it is up to the
runtime
system to properly deal with the situation.  Not sure why GNAT hangs.
