The language review board has been worrying about the termination
of tasks which depend on library units.  The preliminary
decision (aka "interpretation") is to require that the program
wait for such tasks to terminate before returning to the
host operating system.  I think this also implies that
"group termination" rules apply, meaning that if all such
tasks are either terminated or waiting on open terminate
alternatives, then they will all terminate as a group.
