The way I traced the problem, ironically ;), was to catch
Error and print it to screen.
It involved dereferencing a null pointer in a thread and an
'assert null this' silently killed the thread leaving me
wondering why it didn't produce data.
Anyhow, I've had this behavior at least 1 more time but I
forgot what exactly it was related to.
Maybe I missed something beyond building a normal -debug
version.
Anyways, thanks for your reply :)
Please open an issue - this sounds like a big then.
Exceptions thrown from spawned threads do not, by default,
terminate the main thread, so they will not be printed to the
screen unless it's done explicitly. See this old forum thread
at [1].
Note this quote from Sean Kelley (the original maintainer of
DRuntime):
"Oh, I should mention that if you use core.thread explicitly,
any unhandled exception will be re-thrown in the context of
whoever joins that thread."

Hi Mike,
thanks for the pointer.
However, since this is my first program in D using multi
threading I am very sure that the other issue occured in a single
threaded program.
This was a while ago and I have since updated dmd/druntime/phobos
several times so I could not tell if it would still apply.
I try to investigate tomorrow, or day after tomorrow, depending
on my schedule...
Anyways, thanks everyone for your help so far :)
