Although this dead lock problem continues to potentially exists it seems
that problem is after all OS specific - there is some weird behavior of
fam/gamin reporting that bin/*.dll files are changed, causing ASP.Net
runtime trying to restart application, while at the same time trying to
compile *.aspx, *.ascx etc.
Maybe deadlock can occur in normal conditions too (servicing some
request that would need compiling of some control/page that is not
compiled yet and replacing something in bin directory at the same time),
but that should be rare enough :-)
