I'd suspect that means you have a task deadlock. This is a situation
where Task_A is waiting to renedzvous with Task_B using Entry_C, and
Task_B is waiting to rendezvous with Task_A using Entry_D. One way
to solve such problems is to write your program using some kind of
client-server model for task interactions. Another way is to have 
one of the tasks use timed entry calls.
