Research direction

Start with ReentrantSemaphoreTestBase.cs at ExecuteAsync_Contested and the reported line 164, then inspect the ExecuteOnDispatcher calls in TestBase.cs at the listed stack-trace locations. Reproduce the AppVeyor failure if possible and trace why TaskCanceledException occurs; done means the test no longer fails intermittently while preserving its intended coverage.
