I believe that problem is caused by static field initalizator. I've spotted that new thread is started only when is done (despite is called) - so I suppose that CLR blocks other threads to avoid concurrent access / double field initalization. To sum up: Newly-created thread is not started by CLR to avoid concurrent access, but main initalization thread waits for child thread to be done what means deadlock.
