In fact, we took the locking out deliberately :)

In April, Miguel removed the locking from FileStream.cs, because that is
not declared to be thread-safe.  We had a long argument about it, and
Miguel convinced me he was right:  System.Console uses
TextWriter.Synchronized to perform the necessary locking.

If you can demonstrate differing behaviour between mono and ms, please
file a bug.
