Because of the unfriendly relations between tasking and GDB, programs that use simple delays don't work under our scripts. We've ended up writing a package called Sleep_Package, which exports a procedure Sleep that just uses a simple Unix sleep call. That works fine, but the students scratch their heads about why they have to change their code because the Ada in the book doesn't behave as advertised. Well, Robert, you asked the question, so I had to answer it.:-)" Ah ha! "don't work under our scripts", so just possibly this is a Feldman scriopt issue and not a fundamental Ada issue :-)
