I'm not going to read your code carefully, but that doesn't
seem right.  If you have:

    X : T := F(...);

the result of F is "built in place" in X, and should be finalized
when the procedure containing X is left.

Here is some more info about limited function returns:

and 2 following gems.

You can say "return Result : A_Type;" here.
