Accessing mIsShutdown on the proxy thread is a data race because it is modified in Shutdown() on another thread.

In addition, the assertion is not right because there is no guarantee that InternalInit() always happens before Shutdown().

Bug 1313557 - remove the assertion from InternalInit() to avoid data race.

to me it would be nicer to make this thread-safe by making IsShutdown atomic.
Also, if we're shutdown, there's no point attempting to initialise the GMP so may as well reject the promise immediately.

But seeing this is done only for debugging purposes... meh

It would be optimal to do that. But it won't buy us much because the chance of InternalInit() and Shutdown() happening at the same time is quite low.

I'm amazed you would settle for less than perfect ! :)
