[Mono-winforms-list] WinForm refresh/crash window problem

[Jonathan Pobst]

You might want to make sure that the events are being called on the 
correct thread.  You can check Control.InvokeRequired to see if you need 
to Invoke on the correct thread.

If that doesn't work, try to make a small test case that shows the 
problem and file a bug please.
