There seems to be a race condition when using IFormatProvider.GetFormat 
in a both the default and a newly constructed appdomain.

In the separate appdomain, the call to IFormatProvider.GetFormat seems to 
return null.

I've attached a small repro. Just build it using :

$ mcs -r:System.Web.dll test.cs

and run it

$ mono test.exe

and you'll get the following exception :

Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: Error parsing 442px

This is because Thread.CurrentCulture returns a culture object which
resides in the original appdomain, not in the appdomain of the caller.
So this is a dup of #50049.
