Well, in this example the signal is synchonous,
but I see the same problem also when the stack overflows.

Ada installs a separate signal handler stack. So it is supposed to handle
that signal and do something about it, for instance re-boot the system or
something really security relevant.

That will not happen if the stack overflows inside malloc.

For instance this test case:

ulimit -s 1000
./c380004

,.,. C380004 ACATS 2.5 15-01-03 09:13:13
---- C380004 Check evaluation of discriminant expressions when the
                constraint depends on a discriminant, and the
                discriminants have defaults -
                discriminant-dependententry families and protected
                components.
   - C380004 Discriminant-dependent entry families for task types.
   - C380004 Discriminant-dependent entry families for protected types.
