[phobos] [D-runtime] Possible critical deadlock issue for 2.049

[Brad Roberts]

Not so much.  Good point. :)  Though a test that has an alarm in it and 
self-kills if it doesn't finish in some controlled amount of time isn't 
that hard to do.  I'll add to my todo list something to detect this sort 
of problem at a high level in the tester as well.
