+Summary: Should call g_thread_init() very early
+
+Hi,
+mono should call g_thread_init() very early on startup, otherwise (when
+called later) many glib functions might deadlock, crash or whatever if the
+application uses threads at some point. Applications can't call it in
+Main() because mono already uses different glib functions internally and it
+must be called before the first glib function.
+
+See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331853 for more informations.
+
+
+With glib 2.13 almost every bigger mono application prints this warning on
+startup:
+
+GSlice: g_thread_init() must be called before all other GLib functions;
+memory corruption due to late invocation of g_thread_init() has been
+detected; this program is likely to crash, leak or unexpectedly abort soon...
+
+Bye
