find the potential bug

gistfile1.cs

public static class Foo
{
  private static async Task DelayAsync()
  {
    await Task.Delay(1000);
  }
  
  public static void Test()
  {
    var delayTask = DelayAsync();
    delayTask.Wait();
  }
}

If this is running in a synchronization context that ensures continuations run on the same thread (WinForms, for example), delayTask.Wait would hang the UI thread forever, not allowing the await Task.Delay to ever return.

This would cause a deadlock. I guess.

Nailed it, @juanplopes!

By the way, got the example from here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj991977.aspx
