Hi,

TPL scheduler in Mono by default use a Wait mechanism that is cooperating,
trying to execute other waiting task to prevent deadlocking. 

A consequence is that TPL threads are reused to execute nested Parallel.For
loops and since lock is re-entrant your problem occur.

It's rather difficult to change that behavior and it has proven to improve
robustness so I would rather leave it like this. 

To fix your code you have a couple of possibilities: remove lock and use
ConcurrentDictionary, use a non re-entrant lock (SpinLock could do or
alternatively Rwls), detect and prevent nested execution of Parallel.For or use
a custom scheduler.
