The way you describe it, it sounds like a compiler bug. But without seeing
the actual code, it is impossible to tell for sure. (It's not unusual for a
compiler-bug-reporter to see one problem when something totally different is
going on -- it even happens to me from time-to-time.) Ada's visibility rules
are complex enough that you could be getting some other kind of conflict
without realizing it.
