 After an hour or so running with 20 threads each calling Invalidate every 
 few seconds.
 
 Additional Information:
 I know you shouldn't call Windows.Forms UI features on other threads. But 
 I think the result should be something more friendly than a SIGSEGV.

+MWF has the code to pop up a dialog pointing out that an exception 
+has happened, comparable to MS.
+
+However, until we get closer to SWF being complete, we're leaving 
+it 'ugly' as it is today because that actually allows people to see 
+the real problems, and makes cut+paste of errors much easier.
+
+Once we release, it will be changed. (See NativeWindow.cs, #define 
+ExternalExceptionHandler)
