 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.

+mono_thread_attach is a noop on Win32 because libgc is assumed
+to detect & register new threads using its DllMain.
+This will miss (by design) threads created before mono.dll was loaded.
+
+This can't be fixed in the current libgc w/out introducing races
+between DllMain and a new GC_register_thread (to be implemented).
+
+Prio changed.
