It could be a bug. I don't know. Certainly, having the thread die will not 
necesasrily take your whole program down, regardless of why it died, but 
having it not print out anything an assertion failure is certainly 
undesirable. At minimum, creating an enhancement request would probably be in 
order, and it may just outright be a bug. A message might be sent to the 
parent TID. I'd have to reread TDPL's concurrency chapter and mess around with 
std.concurrency a bit to remember/figure out some of those details though (and 
regardless of what TDPL says, the current implementation may not match it).
