Hmm, I see, indeed. Should have checked the source code, but I never
cared... -.-' Well, the stacktrace is stilly only printed on DEBUG_MT, if
i'm correct?, so from the developer's perspective, the thread is still
dying 'silently', and sometimes it's hard to identify if your thread went
away or just blocked, when seeing an issue... Anyway, not important and
unrelated here.
