Fibers

[Andrew Edwards via Digitalmars-d-learn]

The script below is borrowed form a unit test in core.thread and 
modified slightly. If fails with "segmentation fault: 11" but I'm not 
sure why.

Basically what I'm trying to do is to transact on every file in give 
directory at the same time exact time.

In this exam, I'm removing the file/directory but that's just a test to 
see if I could get it to work.

Guidance is requested and appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew
