System.Data.SQLite

I use SQLite driver in a Game Server C# development which use async socket connection and may happen to trigger SQL queries out of the main thread when handling player packets...

This works fine when Pooling is disable, but when pooling is enable it seems the call to "WaitForPendingFinalizers()" hangs forever. I guess it's some code that run for cleaning the Connection Pool.

There is some comments around this in source :

// BUGFIX: For ticket [996d13cd87], step #2.  Now,
//         we must wait for all pending finalizers
//         which have STARTED running and have not
//         yet COMPLETED.  This must be done just
//         in case the finalizer for the connection
//         handle just obtained from the queue has
//         STARTED running at some point before
//         SuppressFinalize was called on it.

Maybe there is some other way to prevent the described racing condition ? or Pooling should really not be used in this kind of lightly threaded environment ?

Are any of your IDisposable objects running their finalizers during this call?
Simply running System.Data.SQLite with connection pooling enabled on multiple
threads should not result in a deadlock.

This is most likely related to [393d954be0].
