THis patch fixes a compiler crash on a function that returns a class-wide
type, when the type is first obtained by means of a limited view.

The following must compile quietly:

---
with New_Network;
limited with New_Network.Bus;

package Topology is

   type Vertex
     (Nb_Terminals : New_Network.Terminal_Count) is tagged null record;

   function Get_Bus
     (Bus_Name : in New_Network.Name) return New_Network.Bus.Object'Class;
end Topology;
---
with New_Network.Bus;

package body Topology is

   function Get_Bus
     (Bus_Name : in New_Network.Name) return New_Network.Bus.Object'Class
   is
      O : New_Network.Bus.Object;
   begin
      return O;
   end Get_Bus;

end Topology;
---
package New_Network is

   --  General dimensioning named numbers

   Max_Element_Terminals : constant := 6;
   --  Max number of terminals an element or a bus can have

   Max_Bus_Terminals     : constant := 4;
   --  Max number of bonds a bus can have

   type Terminal_Count is range
     0 .. Integer'Max (Max_Bus_Terminals, Max_Element_Terminals);

   subtype Name is String
     with Dynamic_Predicate => Name'Length > 0;

end New_Network;
---
with Topology;
package New_Network.Bus is
   type Object is new Topology.Vertex (10) with null record;
end New_Network.Bus;

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

	* sem_ch6.adb (Process_Formals): A function declaration that
	returns a class-wide type must have freeing deferred, so that it
	is not frozen before the class-wide type and its root type are
	frozen. This is significant when there may be a limited view of
	the class_wide type in another package.
