    Thanks for the reports.  We are seeing a pattern here related to
 process shutdown, there are now several bug reports on this.  We are
 investigating.
 
 Miguel.

+I've done some more digging on my own in the mean time. It looks 
+like our code is doing something stupid. In particular, we assumed 
+that C# would give us the same guarantees as Java for finalizers, 
+but I since found out that this isn't the case. The upshot is that 
+it is likely that finalizers in our code end up calling into 
+something that's been finalized already. I suspect that this is at 
+the root of the problem. It seems likely that exceptions get thrown 
+when one of these finalizers does something stupid. Hopefully, this 
+will be of some use to you.
