The following program triggers the bug box when encoded as UTF-8. It runs fine when used with Latin-1 characters. The compiler can test the robustness of your system if you use iconv to encode the source text in EUC-JP and then try to compile with -gnatiw -gnatWe. (I guess that the characters below aren't used very frequently in EUC-JP coded Ada source but still something seems to be looping and consuming lots of memory in this case.)
