Thanks for looking at that Ian.  I have had people in this week
for design reviews and barely answering email. :)

Another minor point on tasks/threads exiting.  The precise behavior
for a task falling out of its "main" routine is API dependent.  At
the current time, I believe that when you enable posix, you might
end up with automatic and silent deletion for all threads.  I recall
someone mentioning this as a weirdness.  As a general rule of thumb,
do explicit calls to rtems_task_delete(SELF) or pthread_exit()
to do it explicitly.
