It’s a bug in corefx and affects .NET Core only. We won’t try and work-around it in App Insights. We’ll get it fixed in .NET Core. If it’s a straightforward (low risk) fix, we’ll also push for porting the fix down-level into the LTS branch. Thanks for your help getting the call-stack and narrowing down the issue, @steven-r. This issue can probably be closed now that we understand what causes it and that we’ve decided not to do anything in App Insights.
