Test case.

Mono can crash in pthread_stop_world() and print a native stacktrace if a large
number of threads are created and then destroyed and if Mono was built with
-fexceptions (as packages are in Fedora by default).  Glibc defines
pthread_cleanup_push() and pthread_cleanup_pop() differently if -fexceptions is
in use, and I think that the logic used with it is sometimes failing to run the
gc's cleanup handler on exit.
