fyi;
AdaCore issued statement on this error:
August 07, 2012
http://eon.businesswire.com/news/eon/20120807006365/en/AdaCore/Knight-Capital-Group/high-frequency-trading
some quotes
"It's clear that Knight's software was deployed without adequate verification."
"What is needed is a change in the way that such critical software
is developed and deployed."
"the aviation industry has demonstrated that safe, reliable real-time
software is possible, practical, and necessary"
May be this is a good chance for Ada to get into financial software, which
is now dominated by weakly typed and much less robust languages.
