Can Unity be made to not throw SynchronizationLockException all the time?

Question

The Unity dependency injection container has what seems to be a widely known issue where the SynchronizedLifetimeManager will often cause the Monitor.Exit method to throw a

Answer 1

I use this short solution:

/// 

/// KVV 20110502
/// Fix for bug in Unity throwing a synchronizedlockexception at each register
/// 
class LifeTimeManager : ContainerControlledLifetimeManager
{
    protected override void SynchronizedSetValue(object newValue)
    {
        base.SynchronizedGetValue();
        base.SynchronizedSetValue(newValue);
    }
}

and use it like this:

private UnityContainer _container;
...
_container.RegisterInstance(instance, new LifeTimeManager());

the problem is that the base class of ContainerControlledLifetimeManager expects a SynchronizedSetValue to do a monitor.Enter() via the base.GetValue, however the ContainerControlledLifetimeManager class fails to do this (apparently its developers didn't have 'break at exception' enabled?).
