It can be a fun exercise to see what is provoking the
bug box. While it is best to report those, I do find that
the present reporting "process" is too time consuming.
I find it is quicker and eaiser to find a work-around
and hope that the bug has already been reported.

Only as a last resort, I'll report it.  They need to 
make that process easier somehow. For example, allow
the user to just send all the *.adb and *.ads files
used. 

Instead they insist on *ada files and don't want
anything that is not involved.  Gnat tries to name
the involved sources, but I have found that this isn't 
reliable - resulting in more futzing around.

I understand the reasons for these things but this 
creates a lot of fussing for the bug submitter. 
The harder it is to submit a bug, the more it discourages
submissions. There were some other things but I 
don't recall them now.  By the time you've submitted
the report, 2-3 hours have wizzed by.
