You also need to declare Condition as __gshared. If you don't,
each thread will see a different Condition object or null,
because by default, every D global variable goes to Thread Local
Storage.

Any variables meant to be shared between threads need to be
either '__gshared' or 'shared'. You could also declare other
shared data as 'shared', but I don't think that's what you want
here.

To list all global variables not declared as __gshared, you can
compile using the -vtls switch.
