I don't see a bug description besides references to bugreports of other
software.

The Mono runtime does not terminate and waits for pending active threads
is a feature. Only background threads (which needs to be explicitely
set) are terminated automatically on application exit.

If you believe this is a bug in Mono, please provide a reproducible
test-case for this (and no, pointing to other software is not helpful,
as I would need to review their source code to tell if they do things
right or wrong).
