Its been a while, but in Ada83 the way I remember it I would see any task that
was a child of the main unit go to a "completed" state when the main unit
completed and the task hit a terminate option, if it had no subtasks still
running. Of course the program itself won't complete until all other tasks
complete, but that didn't stop any one task from quitting.
