I know at least one memory allocation problem where I have not yet
found a solution for - no matter how much engineering I have put into
the problem:

task type T;
type T_Access is access T;

...

X : T_Access := new T;

The last I read only recently here was: task types are small - don't
bother deallocating them. Anybody got any better advice?
