The thread is never called. Any ideas? Thanks!
PS In an old DLL it used to work, there I called it with only

Mystery solved. There was an audio delay so that the program
had already
finished, before the thread was properly executed. I _loooove_
Windows!
Not!
That can happen on Linux as well. So, the owner may have to
call thread_joinAll() to wait for the worker:
import core.thread;
auto myThread = spawn(&myFunction, thisTid);
send(myThread, arg);
// ... sometime before the program ends:
thread_joinAll();

Alternatively, one should use non-daemon threads for this purpose.
