If I remember my early Ada philosopy rightly (and I don't claim that I  
do), the idea behind the synchronization of the master with the tasks it  
declares is that the latter are considered "servants" of the declaring  
task.  So the idea is for the servants to be ready to work when the master  
begins its real processing (statement list).
