When creating multiple Thread objects, memory usage increases constantly
bringing host system to a halt.  It does not matter whether the thread.Start()
method is called or not.

Tested on linux and windows-based system, Mono 2.2 and 2.4, 32 and 64bit
assemblies compiled with MS and Mono compilers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
using System.Threading;

namespace SimplestTest
{
    internal class Program
    {
        private static void Main()
        {
            while (true) new Thread(threadWork);
        }

        public static void threadWork()
        {
        }
    }
}
