You should look at RM-9.8(15-19) and D.6(2).  You should find out
whether your compiler supports Annex D.

You can kill the whole program by aborting the environment task.  To get
the ID of the env task, declare a constant in a library package (or in
the main procedure) initialized to Current_Task.  See C.7.1.

Are you sure you want to stop the program "immediately"?
What if it's in the middle of doing something important?
