Using Aonix ObjectAda on Windows NT, we found that a "delay 0.0" had
no effect. I haven't tried it with the latest version of the compiler,
so I don't know if that has changed.  But, at the time we had to use
a delay of 0.02 to get it to switch.

..and you probably shouldn't be using either in a tight loop, like you are
doing here. That's a busy loop. It could be that your task is hogging all
the
CPU in this busy loop, and is not giving your main task a chance to call the
Quit entry. But since it isn't higher priority, and delay is supposed to act
as
a scheduling point, I'd be suprised if this was the problem.
