But it is even easier to fix in the application. Using a valid SMTP
server there is no leak, not a very bad bug I would say. Anyway, the
GNAT GPL packaging is done once a year, that's the rule and I can't
change that. This is true for AWS and all others GNAT add-ons.
Note that bugs are fixed regularly (and more serious than this one) in
GNAT and other packages and nothing gets repackaged. Not a big deal, use
the repository sources.
Pascal.
