This is what you posted

and this is what I got from copying & pasting the code you'd posted

lockheed:cla simon$ ls -l core.*
-rw-r--r--  1 simon  staff  3377 18 Jan 22:23 core.ads  <<<<<< 3377 bytes

I can 100% assure you that the difference in results IS NOT caused by a
difference in compilers: it IS caused by the fact that the code you sent
us is not the same as the code you compiled.
