OK, I finally get what you are saying.
You need to create a mailbox and a unique tid for every Manager (and probably 
would have to change Manager into a class). Unfortunately this won't work out of 
the box, as for example receiveOnly and friends use only the default mailbox of 
the current thread.

     struct Manager
     {
         Tid tid;
         MessageBox mbox;
         this(string s)
         {
             this.mbox = new MessageBox
             tid = Tid(new Mailbox);
             spawn(&worker, s, tid);
         }
         string get()
         {
             // you'd have to rewrite receive to use custom mbox
             return tid.myReceiveOnly!string();
         }
     }
