Using non-D threads to trigger ManualEvents should work without creating a thread instance of an event driver in the triggering thread. Using an event driver in such a thread leads to possible memory errors (because references to the driver instance are not visible to the GC) and leaks resources (event/socket pair handles) to the GC.
