[Mono-devel-list] Bug 55749 - Another deadlock when running static constructors

[David Mitchell]

This bug is holding me up a bit, is the a work around or can I help fix 
it? These comments from Zoltan seem to suggest that it isn't high on the 
priority list. Is that correct?

+This is caused by a deadlock between the domain lock taken in
+mono_runtime_class_init, and a managed lock. The solution would be
+to use the initialization protocol described in Partition II., 9.5.3.3,
+but that requires things like 'see whenever this thread or any
+thread waiting for this thread already holds the lock', which is a bit
+hard to implement.
