Hi!
I created a protected object with a private array of records. When I
want to update the elements of this array, I use a procedure in this
protected object. The important part is:

My_Bird := Birds(Bird_I);
if not My_Bird.Alive then
   return;
end if;
My_Bird.Alive := False;
Birds(Bird_I) := My_Bird;

When running with debugger, I can see, that Birds(Bird_I).Alive is
False after this code is executed. However, when I switch to another
task and call this procedure again Birds(Bird_I).Alive is still True.
The array is not modified anywhere else, only through this protected
object. What is wrong, why doesn't it work?

Cheers,
