Software Leverage is a small software house that at that time was
selling Ada compilers (derived from Verdix sources, mostly) for, for
example, Sequent Symmetry, AMETEK (I can't remember the name of it but
it was sort of hyper-cube-like distributed) machine, VxWorks, etc. --
i.e. various sorts of specialty products.  They did a distributed
tasking run-time system.  I'm not sure if that qualifies as the first or
second (above), and I'm not sure why the second "doesn't count".
S.L. also worked on an Ada compiler for the Symbolics Lisp Machine (and,
of course it did garbage collection -- it couldn't easily do
otherwise!).
