Bradley,

Could you email me the replies you get to your posting to comp.lang.ada regarding
Ada and Unix Sockets?  We are experiencing the same exact problem (Ada tasks get
blocked while waiting for events) and I don't know yet how to solve this either!

Any replies you get that you could send me would be most appreciated...Meanwhile if
I uncover any solutions I'll send them your way....

Thanks!
