    Threads don't have parent/child relationships. They're all peers and 
interact on an equal basis. Unless you are using some thread-aware 
exceptions, exceptions are handled the same way they were in single-threaded 
programs. Standard C++ exceptions would require significant changes in their 
semantics to be useful across threads rather than just within ithem.
