True, if a task running independently is completed due to an unhandled exception, that is the end of the line. But if a task is running because it is engaged in a rendezvous, then the exception *is* propogated, not to the task's parent, but to the calling task, just as in a subprogram call. This is indicated in 11.5(a) of the LRM. If a task must notify it's parent, it had better handle all anticipated exceptions and utilize a user-defined method of error notification (e.g. a call to an entry of an error task which maintains a global database of the health of various tasks).
