Thread Unsafe code is unpredictable. Main problem is changing one thread variable from another thread. Make the variable global or volatile. You can do it by following

static volatile bool stop = false;

static void Main(string[] args)
{    
    new Thread(() =>
    {
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        stop = true;
        Console.WriteLine("Set \"stop\" to true.");

    }).Start();

    Console.WriteLine("Entering loop.");

    while (!stop)
    {
    }

    Console.WriteLine("Done.");
}
