Compile this and run it, and watch memory consumption grow and grow.  If the

using System;
using System.Threading;
class ThreadTest
{
  static void ThreadMethod() {}
  static void Main()
  {
    while( true )
      {
        new Thread( new ThreadStart( ThreadMethod ) ).Start();
        Thread.Sleep( 1 );  // make ^C more responsive
      }
  }
}
