Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem:
The Mono runtime is not properly storing and retrieving state for shared
resources where their state is kept in the scratch files in .wapi.  The
iFolder team is having problems opening reading and closing files with the
FileShare parameter in a File.Open call set to "None".  Multiple processes
continually repeat this pattern and eventually every call to open will
return a Sharing Violation exception even when nobody has the file open. 
We can easily reproduce this problem by having n number of processes repeat
the pattern described above and then start another process that does
nothing more than new up a shared Mutex (new Mutex(false, "shared-name"))
acquire the mutex and then block on a Console.ReadLine forever.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. We have included a test program that will reproduce the problem.
2. Run two instances of the test program without any input arguments.
3. Run another instance of the test program and pass in a "M" as the 
only argument.

Actual Results:
Eventually the first two instances will seem like they're deadlocked but in
fact they are just getting sharing exception every time they try and open
the file


Expected Results:
The first two instances should run forever with the desired pattern of
opening, reading and closing on every iteration.


How often does this happen? 
usually within 10 minutes of starting the three instances of the test program.

Brady, you forgot to attach the program.

You only attached the solution file.
