Because the 1.0 RTL is not thread safe. The exception stack is shared
across threads, this is what causes your problem. This should be solved in
the 1.1 compiler, but the thread support is not yet stress tested, although
tests seem to indicate that it works fine.

Why not use fork() and child apps ? You should have no problems then. You
can use shared memory to communicate between the threads if you need that.
