Indeed they should. In the JVM, finalizers originally ran in ordinary random threads, but there were so many problems that the design was switched to running on a separate thread. The CLR does the same. See http://www.cs.arizona.edu/projects/sumatra/hallofshame/monitor-finalizer.html (which predates the switch) for details. -- Yes, chili in the eye is bad, but so is your John Cowan ear.
