/**
 * Create a single persistent task which periodically dynamically creates another 
 * four tasks.  The original task is called the creator task, the four tasks it 
 * creates are called suicidal tasks.
 *
 * Two of the created suicidal tasks kill one other suicidal task before killing 
 * themselves - leaving just the original task remaining.  
 *
 * The creator task must be spawned after all of the other demo application tasks 
 * as it keeps a check on the number of tasks under the scheduler control.  The 
 * number of tasks it expects to see running should never be greater than the 
 * number of tasks that were in existence when the creator task was spawned, plus 
 * one set of four suicidal tasks.  If this number is exceeded an error is flagged.
