RE: [DotGNU]Finalization

Ahh that makes sense.  I've got another problem though...

Check out this code:

using System;

public class TestFinalizer
{
        public class Pok
        {
                ~Pok()
                {
                        Console.WriteLine("finalized!");
                }
        }

        public static void Main()
        {
                new Pok();
                new Pok();
                new Pok();

                GC.Collect();
                GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
        }
}


It should print out "finalized!" thrice but it only prints it out once.
It looks like the first (and only the first) finalizable object is never
finalized.

I can't trace down the problem.  

PS.  I have monitors working and finalizers are now running on a
separate thread :D.

Thanks,

^Tum
