If a thread (on the desktop application) dies some time after launch, there is no great visual notification. Stale data for just that thread could be displayed on-screen. There actual error message and stack trace could have scrolled off-screen in the desktop app's window (if running windowed and not headless). A couple of different possible ways to handle this:

- Have some kind of clear() or error() function that gets called within the thread's rescue or just after that clears its relevant parts of TextBuffer
- Check the Thread object for running or not if the count of should-be-running versus actually-running, print persistent error and/or do something on the hardware display (flash, print text, etc.)
