This did not work.

I tried using the gnat 3.15p bootstrap compiler (gnat-3.15p-i686-pc-redhat71-gnu-bin.tar.gz)
from ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/languages/ada/gnat which did not generate a stack overflow.
The gnat I have compiled (3.15p) follows the instructions supplied with the source release and I
have not applied any outside patches to it whatsoever.
Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Or a hint to which source-file I should check out? I
would like to fix this problem as I am the maintainer of the Ada section of Gentoo GNU/Linux.

You don't happen to have a gnat-devel or gnat-user list? Or is that limited to commercial
customers only?
