An order-of-destruction bug has appeared in the scheduler shortly after 1.5.0. The Scheduler PMC is being swept during finalization before the tasks that depend on it. In r40799 I commented out a line in the VTABLE_destroy of the scheduler that prevents the scheduler mutex from being destroyed, which seems to prevent the problem.
We need a real fix for this issue.
