Proposed fix for phobos 1.x - v1

I've run this through a bit of testing of this diff, both 1.x and 2.x, using
the provided example test case and a few variations of my own.  (so far just on
linux, but I'll test on windows shortly).

I can no longer reproduce the problem.  That said, threading problems are
notoriously difficult to be sure about.  I'd appreciate it if some of you could
take a look and hopefully even build your own phobos and do some testing.

I need to think a little bit more about the running -> terminated -> finished
transition steps a bit to make sure it's safe in all cases.  I really would
prefer not to have to make state management synchronized.

Thanks,
Brad
