Well, the two tasks are independent. They don't share data so
I was hoping I didn't have to communicate between the two
threads. I just wanted the two threads to run quitely in the
background.  However, one thread is reading from sockets...
and that thread is preventing the other task from running.

I'd have to check, but I was SURE I set the GNAT Sockets to
non-blocking... which (I assume) would allow the other thread
to run.

The socket thread is using streams. It get held up at a
Integer'Input (Stream) line.  If the sockets were non-blocking
the other task should be able to run right?

Another option I guess would be to poll the stream and
see how much data is in the stream. If there's not enough
delay the task?  Is it possible to view how much data is
there?

I hope I'm making sense.  Anyway - I'll double check
that my sockets are non-blocking tomorrow at work

Thanks
