Hello folks,

I can't reproduce this, resolving 'fixed' here.

Tested using clean 32-bit WINEPREFIX and following Wine versions (with
corresponding Wine-Mono):

* Wine 1.5.9 / Wine-Mono 0.0.4 (works) 
* Wine 1.6 / Wine-Mono 0.0.8 (works) 
* Wine 1.7.0 / Wine-Mono 0.0.8 (works) 
* Wine 1.9.0 / Wine-Mono 4.5.2 (works) 
* Wine 3.17 / Wine-Mono 4.7.3 (works)

Interestingly not even reproducible with the originally reported Wine 1.5.9
version on my system. It was very likely a problem with your host system (Linux
kernel/userspace).

Reason #1:

ptrace protection introduced with Ubuntu 10.10 as security measure which broke
quite a number of apps under Wine. Your bug report is from 2012-07 ... that's
Ubuntu 12.x which suffered from this issue too. -> dupe of bug 30410

Reason #2:

During investigation of bug 45546 I found that on some systems the Mono garbage
collector fails to suspend some worker threads in time ("full world-stop
collection"), causing NtGetContextThread() to fail (tries to loop 100 times
with 1ms delay until giving up). The thread suspension still takes place:
suspend_thread() request to server -> SIGUSR1 delivery to target thread ->
target thread wait_suspend() -> set_suspend_context() to server - but it takes
a bit too long, missing the time window. I don't know the root cause of the
excessive suspension delay (>100ms is a lot on modern systems) - it's very hard
to reproduce and any invasive debugging/tracing measures makes it disappear.
