Two things: 
    1) you probably want to upgrade to gnat 3.12p (try
    http://www.gnuada.org or point apt at the frozen branch), this
    probably won't fix your problem but its a good general idea.

    2) It *sounds* like your doing a lot of stuff on the stack, which
       has a 2MB limit. Try moving stuff onto the heap (by using
       access types).

Or follow ted's sugestion.
