+This is caused by a deadlock between the domain lock taken in
+mono_runtime_class_init, and a managed lock. The solution would be
+to use the initialization protocol described in Partition II., 9.5.3.3,
+but that requires things like 'see whenever this thread or any
+thread waiting for this thread already holds the lock', which is a bit
+hard to implement.
