One possibility that seems consistent (but I can't say I have a proof or even a strong indication yet) is that it's a race during the Channel destructor, e.g.:

* On Channel A: ~Channel calls pTickGenerator->Invalidate(). Before destructor proceeds further:
* The task manager thread runs Channel A's TickGenerator. The tick generator's Run() method will return 0. The task manager deletes the object (rather than requeueing it).
*  A Channel B: Creates a new TickGenerator, which happens to reuse the address that was used for Channel A's tick generator. Channel B registers the TickGenerator with the task manager.
* On Channel A: ~Channel resumes and calls the UnregisterTask with the address of its old TickGenerator.
* The task manager runs; and deletes Channel B's tick generator.
* Eventually Channel B runs its ~Channel and calls Invalidate() on its tick gernerator, which has previously been deleted. The attempt to lock the structure which is supposed to be the mutex blocks.

In this case a solution could be to remove the call to UnregisterTask() from the ~Channel.
