Hopefully the changes to the GC structure in 2.06 solved problem #1 and #2 and
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1360.

I remember reading somewhere that Walter made gc_term() intentionally not free
resources, assuming that the OS will take care of it when the program exits.
Maybe he overlooked situations like #1.

Does the GC still consume a foreign (possibly temporary) thread as its "main"
and expects it to be active? Seems like thats asking for trouble if it does.


Either way, ill try to update to 2.06 and make some test apps when i get some
time.
