Do you ever call the following function from the Ada.Exceptions package?

    function Save_Occurrence
      (Source : Exception_Occurrence)
       return   Exception_Occurrence_Access;

This function allocates an Exception Occurrence from the heap and copies 
the data from Source into this new occurrence. It is up to the 
programmer to deallocate the result of this function. An instance of 
Unchecked_Conversion can be used for this purpose.

Failure to deallocate the results of the Save_Occurrence function would 
certainly result in a memory leak.

Also, is there any other Ada.Exceptions subprogram that you call? More 
info on how you are using exceptions might help us diagnose the problem.
