Yes, the rtems_task_variable_add directive tells RTEMS to add the 
specified variable to the task-switch context of the*calling* task.

The above code adds the variable to the `init' task twice, so task1 and 
task2 still use the `global' (not per-task) value of the variable.

It sounds like you have already solved it.  To add a variable to a 
task's context you must call rtems_task_variable_add from that task.  
 From then on any changes made to that variable by that task will be 
local to the task.
