If you join the thread, any unhanded exception will be rethrown in the joining thread by default. Or you can have a catch(Throwable) in the top level of your thread function. I thought about adding an overridable unhandled exception filter (I think Java has something like this) but that seemed like it would interact strangely with the join behavior.
