If they were called in spawned threads. What he really wants is fork though, I 
believe (it _is_ a _fork_ bomb after all), but I'm not sure how safe that is 
or isn't to call in D, since I don't know how that affects the state of the 
druntime. It's probably okay, since you then have two, completely separate 
processes, but I don't know. Regardless, you'd have to be calling the C fork, 
because I don't believe that druntime or Phobos provide any kind of wrapper 
for fork.
