Well, until recently, I was unable to reproduce the behavior in a
sufficiently small test program.  This test program indicates that the
resource leak is a GNAT specific issue, and I'm going to start a thread
on GNAT chat for that.

Is it save to wait (using delay) until T'Terminated becomes true,
and deallocate after that?
