I guess these two calls somehow only terminate the calling thread 
(? this is strange for core.stdc.stdlib.exit), the whole program 
just hangs after the call, and can only be terminated by `kill 
-9`.


I have to manually go thru each of the treads and plug in some 
kind of early exit logic to stop the whole program.


Will try assert(0) later.
