I suggest you call raise(SIGABRT) directly so you don't see the weird
messages printed by the runtimes.

The error is still printed, I'm trying to create a core dump also.

Unhandled exceptions should print the error message associated with the
exception. This is so that, for example, you can write a file copy program
without paying any attention to error messages. If an error happens, the
program will print the right error message.
Getting a core dump instead would be most unattractive.

I've been working on allowing core dumps to be created when an unhandled
exception is thrown in a D app. To avoid some weirdness that arises when an
exception is thrown beyond the scope of (C) main() I'm calling abort() after
terminating everything possible and reporting the exception. What I'm
wondering is whether this is an acceptable way to terminate a D app in this
situation or if I should do something else. I was looking at the Win32 docs
for abort() and they're a bit weird:
By default, the abort routine prints the message:
"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."
It then calls raise(SIGABRT).
Even on OSX I see an "Abort trap" message in the console when I exit an app in
this way. I'm inclined to think that this isn't acceptable and that I should just try
and sort out the weirdness that results from throwing an object outside of main(), but I
thought I'd ask here for suggestions. As an alternative I could call asm HLT, but this
may bypass too much C-level runtime stuff. Thoughts?
