+Summary: uncaught exceptions in threads other than the main thread crash mono
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+If there is an uncaught exception in a thread other than the main thread, 
+mono will crash (I've only tested Windows). This is becuase the code in 
+jit/exception.c assumes there is only one stack. It compares EBP to a 
+single global variable mono_end_of_stack that was initialized from a 
+stack variable in the main thread.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+The following program will crash when run with mono.
+
+// MultiThreadExceptionTest.cs
+
+using System;
+using System.Threading;
+
+public class MultiThreadExceptionTest {
+	public static void MyThreadStart() {
+		Console.WriteLine("{0} started", 
+Thread.CurrentThread.Name);
+		throw new Exception();
+	}
+
+	public static void Main() {
+		Thread t1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart
+(MultiThreadExceptionTest.MyThreadStart));
+		t1.Name = "Thread 1";
+
+		Thread t2 = new Thread(new ThreadStart
+(MultiThreadExceptionTest.MyThreadStart));
+		t2.Name = "Thread 2";
+
+		t1.Start();
+		t2.Start();
+	}
+}
+
+Expected Results:
+
+The AppDomain.UncaughtException event should be called for each thread.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+The obvious solution is to keep an _end_of_stack for each thread. I don't 
+know anything about Windows Structured Exception Handling (SEH), but I 
+read on the Rotor list that .Net exceptions are somehow "compatible" with 
+SEH. I think there is some level of interoperability between unmanaged 
+and managed exceptions in .Net on Windows. I don't know if this is 
+desirable in mono or if an analog exists on Linux.
+
+I don't know if the same problem exists in mint.
