Charles asks about the effect of priorites in Ada 83. You really cannot
say anything very definite about the semantics of a tasking program in
Ada 83. Priorities are only used to indicate urgency of a task, and it
is perfectly valid for example to time slice between different tasks
on the grounds that e.g. you are simulating a multi-processor.
I would say that the behavior you are seeing is odd, but not non-conforming
in Ada 93. If you want predictable scheduling behavior, use an Ada 95
compiler that implements Annex D.
