This bug about the last issue(s) in bug 324303.

Right now, multicast delegates (MCDs) are chained up in a linked list. The
methods
GetInvocationList() and KPM() (used by RemoveImpl) temporarily build a
double linked list. This makes the code rather ugly and might lead to leaks.

According to "CLR via C#" (Jeffrey Richter), p. 340-344, MS.net uses a
different approach for the chaining. MCD have a field
"_invocationList", which contains null or a reference to a array of
delegates. If this field is null, the containing MCD is a "regular
MCD" otherwise the containing MCS's only purpose is holding the list
of chained MCDs.
