 So, what seems to happen is that the gc sees a thread multiple times
 while trying to stop the world. It then waits too many times on the
 semaphore. I've yet to figure out who's adding duplicate entries.

 Should be fixed in head and 1.1.8.1. I can run monodoc and monodevelop...

+This bug is fixed in 1.1.8.1 since here 'libgc' gets compiled without
+'-fexceptions'.
+The reason for the misbehaviour is that with '-fexceptions' the combo
+'gcc/glibc(nptl)' uses exception based stack-unwinding and without
+'-fexceptions' it uses legacy setjmp/longjmp based stack unwinding.
+Since the mono runtime is compiled without '-fexceptions', stack
+unwinding (!and calling of any thread cleanup handlers!) initiated by
+a call of 'pthread_exit()' from the mono runtime will NOT call
+'GC_thread_exit_proc()' if 'libgc' is compiled with '-fexceptions'.
+So already terminated threads will remain in GC_threads[], making
+'pthread_stop_world()' waiting for eternity.
+For more info one may want to have a look at <pthread.h> as it comes
+with glibc-2.3.x/nptl-enabled.
