It seems like there may some weirdness with GetThreadContext. See for example: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3444190/windows-suspendthread-doesnt-getthreadcontext-fails I'd have to do more digging to see what to try. > When compiling with the current git revision, it no longer throws this > exception but enters _on_out_of_memory and throws a exception from there > (although I don't know where the call is coming from because the debugger > can't fully resolve the stack).

That part is definitely related to the "throw OOME when a finalizer accesses the GC during a collection." I plan to fix this, but it isn't trivial in the current GC and I'm revisiting using Leandro's GC instead. I'm also going to be out of touch for a while, so I likely won't get it done soon.
