dlang/phobos pull request #8197 "Fix issue #22222 - Custom unittest runner on
phobos fails due to segfault on fork() exiting" was merged into master:

- 757499319fe2314fe2d81dbc01330f0a5e23f9d3 by Luís Ferreira:
  std.stdio: change exit(0) to _exit(0) to prevent segfault

  Fixes #22222.

  `exit(0)` call from libc does an exit sequence before exit and therefore
  doesn't exit immediately. This causes problems on custom unittest runners. To
  circunvent this problem we should call `_exit()` syscall to exit immediately.
  In this context this is just fine to do and can prevent any future
frustration
  when debugging.
