[IronPython] System.Windows.Forms.MethodInvoker

[Matthew Barnard]

I spent a good amount of time prodding like an awkward schoolboy at the
framework with windbg.
Everything is fine from the point of the BeginInvoke thread is created to
the point where the function is being looked up.
The framework spends a good deal of time rooting around in a MethodTable and
looks up and calls a constructor for whatever it found there.
This was the last thing I saw it doing before raising an Access Violation,
though I was looking at the TV whilst stepping so I'm sure I missed
something critical.
And now I can sleep.
