For purposes of debugging, I'm using writeln() to print stuff out from tasks running concurrently on many threads. At some point it crashes with the following stack trace:

Thread 4 received signal SIGUSR1, User defined signal 1.

Note that I didn't add any synchronizations around the writeln() calls, should I? I assume the implementation *should* synchronize access to std_out, no?
