You are getting that ThreadAbortException because for some reason the
application thinks it needs to restart and the AppDomain is being
unloaded. If you can compile System.Web.dll from sources, modify
HttpApplicationFactory, before the call to HttpRuntime.UnloadAppDomain()
to print args.Name and watcher.Filter. That way you will know which file
change is triggering the application restart.
