You are right! No wonder that pattern was hard to "recognize"...

I guess I use GNAT because I compile with gnatmake: gcc-4.6 -c,
gnatbind -x, and last gnatlink.

Yeah, but aren't the names unique as long as there aren't more
than one instance of each task? I don't mean to trim the actual
data, which I BTW am very far from knowing how to do, I mean just
dump the task name (the letters) in a new string, and use that for
communicating the task's name (to a human, executing the program).
