I am porting a huge program from Ada 83 on HP-UX to GNAT Ada 95 on a PC
running Linux.  Creating the executable was not a big problem, but I
can't get it to run very far.  It appears that when a procedure rendezvous'
with a task, the task won't run.  The task has a simple accept statement,
and it appears to accept the rendezvous because the calling routine
continues to process.  Text_IO calls before and after the accept statement
in the task fail to appear on the screen though.  If I put a "do ... end"
on the accept statement then the caller no longer continues (i.e.
suspended).

Is this a known problem?  Is there a solution other then removing all
tasks in our program (over 100).

Thanks,
