assert or execption case program hang in multi thread

[liyu]

maybe i should title it assert or execption can't terminate the prog in 
multithread:-)
yes, the main thread is still running, but i want the program terminated 
when a assert failure or exception happened whatever. otherwise i have to 
notify the main thread, i think that's a littel inconvenient.
