+Summary: Collecting from unknown thread in mono_thread_attach
+
+Description of Problem:
+When trying to register a thread using "mono_thread_attach" Mono crashes
+with "GC: Collecting from unknown thread". The call stack looks like this:
+
+_DbgBreakPoint()
+GC_abort()
+GC_push_all_stacks()
+GC_default_push_other_roots()
+GC_push_roots(all=0x1)
+GC_mark_some_inner()
+GC_mark_some()
+GC_stopped_mark()
+GC_try_to_collect_inner()
+GC_collect_or_expand(needed_block=0x1, ignore_off_page=0x0)
+GC_allocobj(sz=0x8, kind=0x1)
+GC_generic_malloc(lb=0x18, k=0x1)
+GC_register_finalizer_inner()
+GC_register_finalizer_no_order(cd=0x0, ofn=0x0, ocd=0x0)
+GC_register_finalizer()
+mono_object_register_finalizer()
+mono_object_new_alloc_specific()
+mono_object_new()
+mono_thread_attach()
+[my code]
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Run Mono in an embedded application.
+2. Attempt to attach a thread that is unknown to the GC.
+
+How often does this happen?
+Since this seems to depend on how much memory is available it doesn't 
+always happen when I attach a thread; however for some threads it seems to
+occur every time.
+
+Additional Information:
+I am using Mono 1.2.1 embedded into a DLL loaded into a larger program. I
+have the GC setup to register new threads that start after the DLL is
+loaded but some calls originate from the larger project an need to call
+mono_thread_attach separately.
