Description

public bool Connect()
{
    if (!Connected)
    {
        sftp.Connect(); //Line throw exception
    }
    return true;
}

Code like this, and it thrown a ThreadAbortException
Exception.TargetSite.Name is WaitMultiple

I use nuget to install ssh.net and that is 2016.1.0
Sometimes I can reproduce.
I get the latest code download from github and then compile, it still can be reproduced.
My Code:

public bool Connect()
        {
            try
            {
                if (!Connected)
                {
                    sftp.Connect();
                }
                return true;
            }
            catch (System.Threading.ThreadAbortException ex)
            {
                throw new Exception(string.Format("ThreadAbortException:{0}" + ex.TargetSite.Name, ex.Message));
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new Exception(string.Format("Connect failed:{0}", ex.Message));
            }
            
        }

Research direction

Start with SftpClient.Connect() and the sftp.Connect() call shown in the report, using the supplied connection code and SSH.NET 2016.1.0 or the compiled latest source to attempt reproduction. A complete result would identify the conditions causing ThreadAbortException or provide a confirmed fix, with the intermittent behavior explained.
