WebWorkers do not terminate

Thanks for doing this port; it's pretty fun to fool around with.

You don't seem to terminate your WebWorkers, though. They aren't automatically garbage collected; you need to either terminate each from the main thread, or the worker needs to call self.close() to halt execution.

I also believe you launch a WebWorker on page load, which you never end up using.

thanks, indeed, I must add that! The initial webworker is used for preloading the script. But you are right: it should be terminate'd, too!

Was this ever fixed?
