+This (and other bugs) is caused by locking problems inside the runtime.
+When an appdomain is unloaded, all threads executing in the domain are
+aborted. When a thread is aborted, it might be holding unmanaged locks,
+like a lock on the domain. Since the runtime does not have finalizers,
+these locks remain locked by the dead thread, leading to a deadlock.
