No, I was just starting to look at your report, and I don't 
_think_ its the same thing.

When PythonNet creates a delegate with a Python implementation, 
it generates the actual managed wrapper delegate and includes the 
necessary calls to AcquireLock() and ReleaseLock().

There are a bunch of unit tests for delegates that don't exhibit 
this behavior - the main difference I can see is that your 
delegate runs on a different thread (which shouldn't matter, but 
its a place to start).
