Bug 7074 – std.concurrency.receive segfaults when called from new thread

Not sure if this is expected: --- import core.thread; import std.concurrency; void main() { (new Thread({receive((bool b){});})).start(); } --- crashes using Phobos c83edad (2.057 beta), because the mbox of the newly created thread has not been initialized yet (it is for the main thread in a shared static constructor, and by spawn() for threads created by it). Workaround: Force initialization of mbox by calling std.concurrency.thisTid on the new thread first.

fix: use thisTid in recieve instead of accessing mbox directly

In 2.067 this code asserts with the following message: core.exception.AssertError@/usr/include/dlang/dmd/std/concurrency.d(671): Cannot receive a message until a thread was spawned or thisTid was passed to a running thread. It appears this can be closed.
