It's not only that I'm concerned about it, personally I just find it

Well, that "unacceptable" sounded a bit hard.
I meant that when I debug a program I expect the debugger not to fail in
catching the same bugs I get when running it in standalone, and creating
threads for interrupting the program, I think may (or may not,
possibility is there) make it worse for the debugger to be able to catch
those bugs (am I wrong?). If it fails in doing so, it's useless, and
makes me search for other strategies, tools, or whatever to catch the bug.
