[Mono-devel-list] Thread hang from TypeInitializationException

[Bruno Fernandez-Ruiz]

I forgot to mention that the TypeInitializationException does occur, but
after that the Test program freezes.

brunofr at localhost brunofr $ ./Test.exe
 
Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: An exception
was thrown by the type initializer for Test ---> System.SystemException:
I am locked
in <0x0002b> Test:.cctor ()
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---

>>> and it freezes ... Ctrl + C
