Otherwise, the debugger stops execution when any Ada exception is raised. +When inserting an exception catchpoint on a user-defined exception whose +name is identical to one of the exceptions defined by the language, the +fully qualified name must be used as the exception name. Otherwise, +@value{GDBN} will assume that it should stop on the pre-defined exception +rather than the user-defined one.
