I did try the suggested thread_attachThis() but it did not help.
Not saying it should not be done, but it was not the cause or the
solution. Ultimately, it was the HANDLE that was the problem.
Thanks, to Vladimir, this has been resolved.

I will continue to experiment with and try to create my own
"reference" implementation for a Windows Service since much of
what I plan to write in D will be deployed as such.
