So in general it should be reported as requested in the documentation to report@gnat.com. Second, if you do report a bug, to report, or to chat@gnat.com or even to comp.lang.ada, then you must give complete sources, or it is impossible to guess what the problem might be. Generally posting obscure bugs of this type to comp.lang.ada will not get you very far anyway! Third, 2.09 is a historic relic at this stage, it is at least 6 versions and about 18 months out of date, you are wasting your time messing with it. When upgrades are free, there is no reason to be using versions that obsolete. For specialized purposes you sometimes need to baseline old versions in large projects, but if you do that then you definitely need support! If you are, as I assume is the case, using the publically distributed version without support (a perfectly reasonable thing to do if you are not using GNAT for critical projects), then it is all the more important to update to the latest available version, which is 3.07 for Solaris. Then if the bug is still present, send a report to report@gnat.com, following the guidelines for bug submission in gnatinfo.txt. That way the problem will be fixed in some future version of GNAT!
