Does D use a mechanism other than the standard C-pthread style "one stack is allocated on thread creation for each thread, and if that space is exhausted it is considered an error without recovery"? If so, could you detail your call stack mechanism?

That's pretty much it.

That being said, druntime and Tango's runtime (basically the same
thing..) also allow for the creation of Fibers, which are
cooperatively-scheduled threads of execution, as opposed to
preemptively-scheduled ones.  But they still work pretty much the same
way, by allocating a new stack.
