+Summary: Mixed up state using shared resources in Mono
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+The Mono runtime is not properly storing and retrieving state for shared
+resources where their state is kept in the scratch files in .wapi.  The
+iFolder team is having problems opening reading and closing files with the
+FileShare parameter in a File.Open call set to "None".  Multiple processes
+continually repeat this pattern and eventually every call to open will
+return a Sharing Violation exception even when nobody has the file open. 
+We can easily reproduce this problem by having n number of processes repeat
+the pattern described above and then start another process that does
+nothing more than new up a shared Mutex (new Mutex(false, "shared-name"))
+acquire the mutex and then block on a Console.ReadLine forever.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. We have included a test program that will reproduce the problem.
+2. Run two instances of the test program without any input arguments.
+3. Run another instance of the test program and pass in a "M" as the 
+only argument.
+
+Actual Results:
+Eventually the first two instances will seem like they're deadlocked but in
+fact they are just getting sharing exception every time they try and open
+the file
+
+
+Expected Results:
+The first two instances should run forever with the desired pattern of
+opening, reading and closing on every iteration.
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+usually within 10 minutes of starting the three instances of the test program.
+
