[Mono-list] mono swallows threadpool exceptions

[Steve Lessard]

There is a fairly simple workaround. Basically instead of putting the raw Action 
delegate on the thread pool you wrap it in another Action delegate. (Let's call 
it the "guardian" delegate.) The guardian delegate is put on the thread pool. 
When executed the guardian delegate calls the raw Action delegate from inside a 
try/catch block.  With this workaround you can write the guardian delegate to do 
whatever you want when it catches any kind of exception.  Does 
Environment.FailFast work in Mono?

And I found the bug.

Bug 491191

Which is over a year old.

This one is not in an obscure part of the framework like my serial
port bug so it should be fixed quickly??
