If the stack which overflowed is in an Ada task -- not the environment
{main) task -- then the problem is likely that you did not increase the
task's stack size by using the pragma Storage_Size in the
task declaration.

See the Ada Reference manual about the language-defined pragma and
attribute Storage_Size (for tasks).
