NAME
    RemTask -- remove a task from the system

SYNOPSIS
    RemTask(task)
            A1

    void RemTask(struct task *);

FUNCTION
    This function removes a task from the system.  Deallocation of
    resources should have been performed prior to calling this
    function.  Removing some other task is very dangerous.  Generally
    is is best to arrange for tasks to call RemTask(0L) on themselves.

    RemTask will automagically free any memory lists attached to the
    task's TC_MEMENTRY list.

INPUTS
    task - pointer to the task node representing the task to be
           removed.  A zero value indicates self removal, and will
           cause the next ready task to begin execution.

BUGS
    Before V36 if RemTask() was called on a task other than the current
    task, and that task was created with amiga.lib/createtask, there was
    a slight chance of a crash.  The problem can be hidden by bracketing
    RemTask() with forbid()/permit().
