Our threadpool in 2.8 and above behaves more like the .NET 4.0 threadpool. Each
thread has a local queue (work-stealing queue) from which other threadpool
threads might steal work items when they are idle.

This also means that the order of execution is not (quasi-)guaranteed as it was
before and that it is possible that everything you queue from a threadpool
thread is executed from the same thread (only under special circumstances: the
work items don't take too long, other threadpool threads are busy).

Now, given that you see this problem with Mono on windows, I'd like to test
that and see if it's a windows-only problem. How many CPU cores does your
machine have?





In my machine with Mono on linux, in the first try:
 [TID: 1]
--------------------
* SimpleTestOuterQuwiInnerQuwi
114342410: Calling QueueUserWorkItem(outer)
114342419: Outer: calling QueueUserWorkItem(inner)  [TID: 2]
114342419: Outer: pausing...
114342519:     Inner: Was I called only **after** Outer exited??????  [TID: 3]
114344419: Outer: exiting...
