I was bitten by it. It involves Gnat 3.15p on Windows. Delays can 
mis-delay for unknown periods of time, effectively suggesting that tasks 
are locked when they are not.

I'm not sure if it is needed to use Ada.Real_Time mixed with 
Ada.Calendar for it to trigger... in any case, if the OP is using this 
platform, he should patch it just in case anyway.

And I concur with some other poster: is too bad that the latest public 
release of gnat for windows carries two or three traps like this not 
mentioned in the users guide for NT. These are long-time known and fixed 
bugs, at least a link in the download page to some bugs page would be of 
interest (that's to say, if nobody at ACT is interested in or have the 
time to re-package 3.15p or make a new public release).
