When I copy the file from  /boot/programs/gdc/lib/ to my working folder, it works. Is this a pilot  error on my side, or does the file need to be referenced differently  somewhere?

Type this command:
mv /boot/programs/gdc/lib/libgphobos.spec /boot/programs/gdc/lib/gcc/i386-skyos-pe/3.4.4/

I'll update the package to include this fix.

Yes, Robert said he would make the changes.  I also found a workaround to do what I need, but I'm still seeing crashes.

There's a new alpha release of SkyOS available now, with some of the changes you asked for implemented. Here's an excerpt of the change log:

28th, dec 2005:
Implemented pthread_detach
Implemented pthread_join
Implemented pthread_create detached state
Fixed ThreadCreate. Save return pid in local variable instead of using thread stucture which may have been freed already

I don't know if you have alpha access or not. If not, leave a message in the 'Threads and Garbage Collection' thread, and I'm pretty sure you'll get access.
