Carl got the following output from GNAT

+===========================GNAT BUG DETECTED==============================+

and asks what GNAT is tryuing to tell him

GNAT is trying (and it seems reasonably well succeeding) to tell you that
a GNAT BUG has been detected, and that you should contact the SGI
Technical Assistance Center at the given number. Did you do so?

GNAT does a lot of internal consistency checking and if it detects a
case of an internal inconsistency of some kind, outputs the above box.
There are two variants depending on whether or not you have support
from SGI (the other version advises you to send a report to report@gnat.com)

The location in the source given in line 1 is often useful in working
around the problem, especially if you are using GNAT without any support
from SGI or ACT.
