Does this mean that Telesoft supports non-blocking IO from multiple
tasks doing IO in a single Unix process?  (i.e.  if one task calls
text_io.put_line, will other tasks in the same program/process still run?)

If so, I'd be very interested in hearing how that works.  We've
discussed this at great detail in the POSIX-Ada binding WG.
