[gtkada] de-gnatchop

I can try that, but what if the bug is related to the source size and 
cannot be reduced much? And maybe easily found looking at the bug printout?
Do people put the files together one by one by hand in an editor?

Thanks
Manuel

You don't.  You reduce the hundreds of files to one or two files with only the few lines of sources that trigger the bug.  And, because this is a compiler bug, you don't involve GtkAda in the reproducer.

I realize that that's probably not the answer you wanted to hear, but unless you have a support contract with AdaCore (which means you don't use gcc-4.6 on Ubuntu or Windows), the probability that someone will reduce such a big test case for you, before starting to investigate the compiler bug, is, honestly, zero.

Sorry to be so blunt, I wanted to avoid disappointment later on :)
