Thanks for feedback, I've tried it on more servers where it 
actually worked as you both described.
At the end the difference was Eset antivirus installed.
I had it whole disabled to eliminate exactly this but only after 
it's uninstall it started to work.. So some crap was still active 
in it.

Well still it's pretty unfortunate if some 3rd side app can brick 
the GC runtime. We can't just say to customers "You've got Eset 
installed? Screw you it won't work together."

So bug or not a bug?
