Terminating threads has always been iffy in D. As a simple workaround,
use a threadpool to keep a set of threads around blocking on a semaphore
(and consuming no resources), and rewrite your problem in terms of tasks
(void delegate()).
I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with this. There really should
be a list of common D pitfalls, and "Don't ever destroy threads" should
be among the top ten.
This one was a simple bug. He was not terminating threads, rather he was
letting a thread exit normally.
