I believe it is an expected behaviour. You second thread (which you create
explicitly) is throwing an exception and thus gets terminated.
You main thread, however, continues to live. What you call 'hang' is your code
which sleeps in an infinite loop:

while(1) {
    Thread.sleep(100);
}

Try putting some stuff into in (like, Stdout('!');) and you'll see that your
thread didn't hang, it works perfectly.

If you remove the while (1) { Thread.sleep(100); }, your main thread quickly
reachs the end of the main() and also gets terminated.

Your program finishs its execution when *all* your threads stop.

yes, the main thread is still running, but i want the program terminated 
when a assert failure or exception happened whatever. otherwise i have to 
notify the main thread, i think that's a littel inconvenient.

You could make a feature request for Tango. That's where the issue lies.

It might not even be necessary.  tango.core.Exception has a way to
replace the default assertion handler so that you can i.e. stop all
threads when an assertion fails.

you should write thread.join() instead of Thread.sleep(100);

the syntax might be incorrect. search "join" in the thread class in tango.

have a nice day ^^)
