function "&" for strings type cause memory problem.

["bubble" <bubble@riskm.com.tw>]

dear all:
I have a project need mix 2 language (VB and Ada).


VB do GUI  and monitor the real time quote then trigger kernel work.
Ada with gnatcom to do kernel work (financial model pricing).

in the project, a code snip will raise storage_error excpeiton because I 
combine 2  BIG string to 1 string.

I test the code snip and I get some problem in the statement, Nstring2 := 
new String'(String1 & String2) .

if I compiling the code to stand alone execute file and enable pragma 
Linker_Options ("-Wl,--stack=0x10000000");
It both  passed.
if I compiling it to DLL ,it pass test 1 and fail in test2

                                                    Test 1              | 
Test 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.exe with Linker_Options       |     Pass 
Pass
.exe without Liner_Options    |     Pass                                Fail
.dll with Linker_Options         |    Pass 
Fail
.dll without Linker_Options    |    Pass 
Fail

Test Environment
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OS:Windows XP.
memory :640 MB.
VB: Microsoft Visual Basic 6
gnatcom version: 1.4
ada compiler: Gnat GPL 2005



I guess functin "&" for string type may have potential  problem in gnat 
windows editions.
does any body know the problem and give me some suggestion.
thanks
