RE: exception access violation

["Cousins, Jeff" <jeff.cousins@baesystems.com>]

We got the same problem (exception access violation second time round), and
pinned it onto Interfaces.C.Strings.New_String being passed an uninitialised
Ada string, causing the C string allocated to be of some random length,
depending on where/if null was found in the Ada string's memory.
Initialising the Ada string with others => some_non_null_character to force
the C string to be as long as the Ada string was a work-around.

gdb's not as bad as it was.  Several of my colleagues use the DDD GUI
front-end.  We tried the GVD GUI front-end but it was unacceptably slow
starting up, hope to try the new 1.2.4 release soon.
