What is confusing is this:

    (@value{GDBP}) info tasks
      ID       TID P-ID Pri State                 Name
       1 140022020   0   15 Child Activation Wait main_task
       2 140045060   1   15 Accept/Select Wait    t2
       3 140044840   1   15 Runnable              t1
    *  4 140056040   1   15 Running               t3

Task 2 is running, okay.

    (@value{GDBP}) b 15 task 2
    Breakpoint 5 at 0x120044cb0: file test_task_debug.adb, line 15.

Set a breakpoint for task 2.

    Breakpoint 5, test_task_debug () at test_task_debug.adb:15

Breakpoint is hit by task 2.

    (@value{GDBP}) info tasks
      ID       TID P-ID Pri State                 Name
       1 140022020   0   15 Child Activation Wait main_task
    *  2 140045060   1   15 Running               t2
       3 140044840   1   15 Runnable              t1
       4 140056040   1   15 Delay Sleep           t3

And task 2 is still running, even though it has hit the breakpoint.

Did I succeed in explaining what is confusing?  The task was running,
then it hit the breakpoint, but it is still "running".

If this is normal, at least remove the second "info tasks" and its
output from the example.
