This is only true if there are no tasks (apart from the environment
task) involved.

   procedure Term is
      task T;
      task body T is
      begin
         delay 5.0;
      end T;
   begin
      raise Constraint_Error;
   end Term;

returns you to the command prompt after 5 seconds.

   smaug[4]$ time ./term

   raised CONSTRAINT_ERROR : term.adb:8
