Daemon Threads

[David]

I have a threaded connection:


class ThreadedConnection : Connection {
     protected Thread _thread = null;
     @property Thread thread() { return _thread; }

     void run() {
         if(_thread is null) {
             _thread = new Thread(&(super.run));
             _thread.isDaemon = true;
         }

         _thread.start();
     }
}


The thread will call &super.run:

     void run() {
         while(_connected) {
             poll();
         }
     }


Since this is a daemon thread, I'd expect it to stop/terminate when the 
main thread stops. This is not the case (it keeps running), is this a 
known bug and how can I workaround this?

It also seems that it keeps running, even if I close the connection and 
super.run stops.
