Tried D today for the very first time, and the first program started segfaulting
soon enough... The simplified version is this:

-----
import core.thread;
import std.stdio;

class MyThread : Thread {
   this() {
      super(&run);
   }

   private:
   string s = "abcdefg";
   
   void run() {
      writef("New thread starting.\n");
      
      while (s.length < 300_000_000)
         s ~= s[0..4];
      
      writef("New thread done.\n");
   }
}

void main() {
   for( int n=0 ; n<8 ; n++ ) {
      Thread t = new MyThread();
      t.start();
   }
   
   writef("Main thread done.\n");
}
-----

which often (>50%) results in:

 New thread starting.
 Main thread done.
 New thread starting.
 New thread starting.
 New thread starting.
 New thread starting.
 New thread starting.
 New thread starting.
 New thread starting.

 No locals.

 No locals.

So it dies while trying to access info.base which is null.
Nothing short of adding explicit locking around the append op seems to help...
