 This from the 1.2.2.1 tag, with the above patch from Robert.

+We won't export
+#define CreateThread GC_CreateThread
+and we don't do that for users on pthread platforms either.
+We only do that for threads created inside mono: for user-created
+tests they either need to attach them or the attaching happens
+automatically when a native->managed transition happens.
+Avoiding the dll trick sounds good if it fixes issues: the only
+problem I see is that on windows threads are not automatically
+detached when they die (on pthread we can do that with a tls slot
+destructor callback): this could be considered a minor issue.
