GNAT RTS Creating Hidden Task?

GNAT RTS Creating Hidden Task?

[Greg Bond]

I've hacked the GNAT RTS to monitor for particular RTS events (such as 
task creation, destruction, rendezvous stages, protected object access 
stages). In the following code I would expect two tasks to be created: 
the mainline procedure and the declared task. However, the event monitor 
indicates that the mainline procedure creates a task in addition to the 
declared task. What's its purpose? I'm running GNAT 3.03 under SunOS.

procedure Test1 is

   task T1;

   task body T1 is
   begin
      null;
   end T1;

   task T2;

begin
   null;
end;
