Using threads on Mac OS X using D1 and Tango

[Jacob Carlborg]

I'm trying to use threads on Mac OS X using D1 and Tango. I have this 
very simple example:

import tango.core.Thread;

void main ()
{
     Thread thread = new Thread({ });
     thread.start();
     thread.join();
}

I'm using DMD 1.076 to compile the above example on Mac OS X 10.8.5 as 
32bit. When I run that example I get a segmentation fault. The example 
works fine on Linux.

Since this is so trivial example I'm expecting it's either the thread 
implementation in Tango that isn't working or the compiler is not 
generating the correct code. Does anyone know if there's a trivial fix 
either in the compiler or in Tango to fix this?

I've tried to find difference in the thread implementation in druntime 
and the one in Tango. There are a few differences but none helped when I 
tried and modified Tango.

This is the stack trace:
