libgcc does unwinding as part of pthread_exit.

This is fine for threads where all code for the call stack is valid, but during
shutdown this might not be the case if the root domain was unloaded.

The unwinding code tries to read from the return address, which has been
released and causes a fatal segfault.

The way to fix this is to restore to the last LMF and have it call
pthread_exit, this way avoiding unwinding any deallocated managed methods.
