	Easy. The close down sequence can work like this:

    MainTask:	Signal SubTask

    SubTask:

	if (cleanupsignal) {
	    Cleanup();
	    Forbid();
	    Signal(MainTask, whatever)
	    Wait(0);
	}

	You can even get rid of the Forbid()... the maintask then
    simply RemTask()s the subtask.  This kills the subtask in whatever
    it's doing (which is nothing... a Wait(0)).
