           Summary: [WIN32] mono_config_parse deadlock
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: SVN
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: misc

mono_config_parse () is indirectly touching the loader lock through
mono_dllmap_insert, but this lock is only initialized after at least one
app domain was created. This could lead to a deadlock on Windows because
the critical section is uninitialized.

This doesn't work in my app:

mono_config_parse (NULL);
mono_jit_init ("foo");

whereas

mono_jit_init ("foo");
mono_config_parse (NULL);

is working correctly.

I believe that changing the documentation and the samples of the embedded API
is sufficient to "fix" the issue.
