The fork join execution context loses fatal exceptions. It should allow them to be handled by the threads uncaught exception handler, so that they can be logged. But it doesn't, they get lost, not reported anywhere. Here is an example in the repl:

scala> import scala.concurrent._
import scala.concurrent._

scala> val ec = scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.global
ec: scala.concurrent.ExecutionContextExecutor = scala.concurrent.impl.ExecutionContextImpl@4a640180

scala> val f = Future[Unit](throw new NotImplementedError())(ec)
f: scala.concurrent.Future[Unit] = scala.concurrent.impl.Promise$DefaultPromise@3ec9e1f9

Nothing happens. What I expected is for my NotImplementedError to be at least handled by the uncaught exception handler, and logged. Now, I know the uncaught exception handler is there and working:

scala> val f = Future[Unit](Thread.currentThread.getUncaughtExceptionHandler.uncaughtException(Thread.currentThread, new NotImplementedError()))(ec)
f: scala.concurrent.Future[Unit] = scala.concurrent.impl.Promise$DefaultPromise@4aac53a8

	at scala.concurrent.forkjoin.ForkJoinWorkerThread.run(ForkJoinWorkerThread.java:104)

And if I use a different execution context, such as a Java executor, it works as expected:

scala> val es = java.util.concurrent.Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor
es: java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService = java.util.concurrent.Executors$FinalizableDelegatedExecutorService@10cd508f

scala> val ec = ExecutionContext.fromExecutorService(es)
ec: scala.concurrent.ExecutionContextExecutorService = scala.concurrent.impl.ExecutionContextImpl$$anon$1@11e9c5a7

scala> val f = Future[Unit](throw new NotImplementedError())(ec)
f: scala.concurrent.Future[Unit] = scala.concurrent.impl.Promise$DefaultPromise@7309eabd

Philipp: could you take a look of this ahead of 2.10.1?

Apparently Viktor has been talking to Doug Lea about getting a fix for this, since the problem is in the Java forkjoin library.

I've managed to work around it for Akka, but to fix the global EC in scala.concurrent, we need to do something similar to this: https://github.com/akka/akka/pull/1085/files
However, there's a bigger topic at hand here, the one whether NotImplementedError, InterruptedException and ControlThrowable are to be considered fatal or not.

I've just reviewed Viktor's fix. I think we should open a new self-contained pull request, though.

Yeah, that's fine, just cherry-pick my commit above. This should go in for both 2.10.x and 2.11 IMO
