I understant that. That's why I said it is weird ! The fact is that if I
output (put_line) the value returned in PragmARC.Universal_Random.Random_Int,
the exception is not raised and the value seems fine. If I print the value
returned by this function on the caller side I get 0. Which is not a positive
hence the exception... So it is either some kind of corrupted memory, a GNAT
bug, or a build problem on my side !

I have tested it on Windows 2000 with GNAT 3.14, 3.15 and GtkAda 1.3.12.
