[1] is not right here. The delay could still not be enough. What I usually do
is loop until 'Terminated is true.

Something like: (not compiled)

    for K in 1 .. 20_000 loop  -- N=20,000
       X := new A.Tt;
       N := N + 1;
       X.The_End;

       loop
          exit when X'Terminated;
          delay 1.0E-30;    --  [1]
       end loop;

       Free (X);         --  [2]
    end loop;     

Pascal.
