[Mono-dev] Invariant Culture question

[Rafael Teixeira]

Hi Cory,

AFAIK, that works correctly in Mono also.

But beware that culture is a thread-specific setting, you may be doing
something on a thread spawned and set to another culture. Particularly
you may experience a timing problem, if a thread is created before the
main thread has it's culture set to the local one in the runtime
initialization code, what is a possible scenario when mono is
embedded...

I think some other people may help you more than me at the moment, as
I currently have no time to dig the details by looking at Mono source.

Good luck,
