If all other threads (except the main one) are "daemon" threads, then the  
whole process finishes when the main thread exits; all daemon threads are  
abruptly finished. Note that "try/finally" blocks are not honored, neither  
are "with" statements...

If you want an orderly retreat, the other threads must cooperate (e.g. the  
main thread sets a flag and they periodically check for it).
