Not a good idea to call "Put_Line" from a protected object as it is a
(potentially blocking call).

Take out the "Put_Lines" and increment an unprotected unsigned integer
instead and from within a task poll say @1Hz and look for the integer
changing - i.e. try an look for a side-effect of the protected object doing
its job. You can always remove this task once you're convinced all is ok.
