           Summary: Calling std.c.stdlib.exit() from child threads causes
                    segfault

           Version: D2

Repro program:

import std.stdio, std.concurrency;

static void thread_run() {
  int[int] testMap;
  // should throw an out of range exception
  writeln("child: running ...");
  try {
    int testValue = testMap[10];
  } catch(Throwable e) {
    writefln("Exception in child thread: %s", e);
    std.c.stdlib.exit(0);
  }
  writeln("child: testValue set, sent back to parent");
  ownerTid.send(1);
}

int main() {
  writeln("partent: starting child thread ...");
  Tid child = spawn(&thread_run);
  int stop = 0;
  while(stop <= 0) {
    stop = receiveOnly!int();
    writefln("parent: received from child: %s, exiting...", stop);
  }
  writeln("exiting");
  return 0;
}
