Package: gnat-gps
Version: 4.0.1-2
Severity: important

Start gnat-gps from the command line.  On the welcome screen (if it
appears), select any option.  When the main window appears, do any one of:

File | Open...
File | Open from host...
Project | Open...
Project | Open from host...

At this point I've seen several different symptoms:

(1) gnat-gps hangs, apparently waiting for input in a window that is
    not displayed.  It is necessary to kill it from the command line.
    Ctrl+C does not kill it; do Ctrl+Z then kill the job.

(2) gnat-gps crashes with the message:
    raised PROGRAM_ERROR : s-intman.adb:158 explicit raise

(3) gnat-gps crashes with the message:
    *** glibc detected *** corrupted double-linked list: 0x0000000001eb4080 ***

(4) *** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 
0x0000000001eaf900 ***

(5) gnat-gps displays the file selector, but the edit box after
    "Exploring:", at the top, contains a corrupted string,
    e.g. "/home/lb?q?" followed by a SOH character (16#01#).

I suspect that this may actually be the same underlying bug as
#400876, because I've seen symptom (1) when doing Project | New...,
"Single project", Next, Browse.

The package is severely crippled but not completely unusable thanks to
the following workaround:

Start gnat-gps from the command line, passing it a
project file as an argument (with -P), e.g.

gnat-gps -Pmy_project

In the main window, display the project view (if necessary, do Project
| Project view).  Select any file from the project.  Alternatively, do
File | Open from Project... and select the source file.
