Hi,

i need some help to find out if my program has a fault
or i'm to dump.

I have a generic package with a unconstrained array and
a pointer to it. I can allocate memory with new type(0..x).
If i try to access pointer.all(0) i get a constraint error.

What makes me wonder is that i can allocate with
new type(-1..x) without warning, the array is of "natural
range <>".

The second thing that makes me wonder is that the code
works outside of the generic. I get a warning there if
i try -1..x.

If somebody is willing to compile this very short code with
another compiler and tell me the result i can clear this
point and make a senseful bugreport if necessary.

Haug
