So you are classifying this as a bug then. That was part of my question since it only happens if you don't handle your threads properly (or at least I think properly; I would assume it is common practice to close down your threads).
Really? I would assume it's common practice to let the garbage collector shut down your threads. After all, people don't handle errors either. Most code doesn't even check for them.
I don't trust the garbage collector to have any sane shutdown semantics, especially regarding threads. In my own code, I always make the best effort to shut threads (daemon or otherwise) down explicitly. -Barry
