     With the TeleGen compiler, the program prints "we made it" then exits.
     This does not seem correct to me.  When I compile this with the Verdix
     Ada compiler on our Vax, the program prints "==> DEADLOCK! <== No
     tasks to run, no delays waiting."  If I change the "or" marked with
     "XXX" to an "else," the programs works "as expected" for both
     compilers, i.e. it prints "can't accept yet" 9 times, then prints "we
     made it" and exits.
     
The output of DEC's VAX Ada v1.4-33 under VMS is:

can't accept yet
can't accept yet
can't accept yet
can't accept yet
can't accept yet
can't accept yet
can't accept yet
can't accept yet
can't accept yet
can't accept yet
x>10
we made it

This was with the "or" marked with an "XXX" NOT changed to an "else".  Note
that "can't accept yet" is printed 10 times, not 9 times.
