With r37747, you don't serialize the culture if it is the default one,
right? So, if you switch app domains, it should just create a new culture.

The one problem with this is that you create the culture EVERY time you
switch appdomains. The best way to handle this might be a
per-thread-per-appdomain cache. This type of thing is provided by
[ThreadStatic]. With [ThreadStatic], we could even avoid an unmanaged
transition on NPTL. (I have a patch that does this sitting around at
home...)
