Windows: in a D-DLL I'm trying to spawn a thread. However, nothing

The thread is never called. Any ideas? Thanks!
PS In an old DLL it used to work, there I called it with only one
argument, i.e. spawn(&myFunction). Is thisTid messing it up, do I need
to pass something else?
Mystery solved. There was an audio delay so that the program had already
finished, before the thread was properly executed. I _loooove_ Windows!
Not!
That can happen on Linux as well. So, the owner may have to call
thread_joinAll() to wait for the worker:
import core.thread;
auto myThread = spawn(&myFunction, thisTid);
send(myThread, arg);
// ... sometime before the program ends:
thread_joinAll();
