I have observed the error a few weeks ago (maybe a month ago), so I
don't think it's a change in Valgrind's version.

Yes, I tried to create a reproducer by defining huge arrays but did
not observe the error. That's when I tried to check the original code
again.

Yes, I tried to create the test case in C but could not originate the error.

I thank you for you work and time. And I can assure you that I have
put lots of effort in this issue already, and was not planning not to
create a bug report. I always create issue reports when I find them in
software, that's the least I can do. As I said, I was trying to create
the report, but couldn't. I then thought I had come up with a
different error, that's why I reported it here. I don't know if it's
an error in Valgrind or our code, so I thought I could discuss it here
before.

It seems an error during Ada's elaboration.
