+Summary: race condition in thread exit code
+
+There seems to be a race condition in the thread exit code, which can be
+seen by running tests/thread5.exe in a loop. After a while, it hangs.
+I debugged this, and the following seems to happen:
+
+_wapi_timed_thread_exit () calls pthread_exit (), which calls the
+mono_thread_detach function registered by start_wrapper ().
+mono_thread_detach () indirectly calls WaitForSingleObjectExt () which
+calls GetCurrentThread (), which doesn't find the thread in thread_hash
+since it is already removed, so it calls thread_attach (), which allocates
+a new handle and puts it into thread_hash. Later, when mono_thread_manage
+tries to wait for this thread to die, it waits on the new handle, which of
+course is never signalled, so the runtime hangs.
