+Summary: System.Threading.Mutex stays locked when process exits
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+When I create a locked System.Threading.Mutex object and don't explicitely
+call Mutex.ReleaseMutex() or if mono gets killed then the mutex will stay
+locked forever (until I manually remove all files from $HOME/.wapi).
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+using System;
+using System.Threading;
+using System.IO;
+
+public class T {
+    public static void Main(string[] args) {
+        bool gotLock;
+        Mutex m = new Mutex(true, "mymutex", out gotLock);
+        Console.WriteLine("Acquired Lock: " + gotLock);
+    }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+[matze at taylor] ~/t > mcs t.cs
+[matze at taylor] ~/t > ./t.exe
+Acquired Lock: True
+[matze at taylor] ~/t > ./t.exe
+Acquired Lock: False
+
+Expected Results:
+
+2 times an "Acquired Lock: True" message
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Everytime
+
+Additional Information:
+
+I'm using gentoo linux on an x86 Pentium4 processor.
