+Summary: async io causes runtime assertion
+
+As Seen On Mono-devel-list:
+"
+When I use a FileStream(string, FileMode, FileAccess, FileShare, int,
+bool) constructor I get an error like below.
+
+** ERROR **: Thread 0x930 calling into managed code is not registered
+with the GC. On UNIX, this can be fixed by #include-ing <gc.h> before
+<pthread.h> in the file containing the thread creation code."
+
+The problem here is that overlapped_callback calls mono_thread_attach ()
+from the thread executing async IO, which is some random thread started by
+glibc. Since this thread is not registered with the GC, there are no GC
+data structures setup for this thread, so we can't attach to it, because it
+would cause all GC allocations to crash in GC_malloc_local.
