Well, it depends on how you use tasks in your application.  The Ada
language provides for synchronization between tasks, and part of the
Ada Task Control Block is used for mutex/condition variable storage
just for this purpose.  But if there is no need for synchronization,
then I don't see why your thread/process wouldn't be able to run
under the limits of the OS.
