GNAT 3.15p has an HTML version of its user guide and reference manual;
look in GNAT/Doc/...

You can also get 'info' versions in the file
gnat-3.15p-unx-docs.tar.gz.

Use the gdb debugger (distributed with GNAT). Sample session:

$ gdb my_program.exe
gdb> break exception
gdb> run
(message about stopping on a line)
gdb> where

that shows you the stack. Then you can use normal debugging stuff to
figure it out; do 'help' in gdb, or find the gdb manual in GNAT/Doc.
