Actually it is not really an issue of GNAT's default static
elaboration scheme. This just alerts you to the real issue,
which is that if you *really* have task bodies executing
all kinds of stuff before elaboration of the program is
complete, you potentially have a mess, which could show up
as non-deterministic program_error exceptions!
