Thanks, Orion.
I posted this version of the crasher (with plmap in C) to
comp.lang.ada a couple of days ago but the thread has gone quiet, and
no further reports of success or failure.
The only way out of this that I can see is if I rewrite plplot in Ada
so that it can be called with Ada calling conventions or wait for a
compiler fix.
Just a casual browse of the C for plmap reveals this gem:
for (;;) {some stuff}
What does that do? Probably loops without end.
