Using WriteableBitmapEx 1.0.8.0 from NuGet, I have some code where I'm creating a bunch of images in parrel. However, inside BitmapContext there's a static Dictionary used in the ctor - which leads to crashes when calling methods such as WriteableBitmapExtensions.Clear on different images concurrently.
Here's some code to reproduce the problem
```
Parallel.For(0, 1000, i =>
{
var bitmap = new WriteableBitmap(100, 100, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Gray16, null);
var converted = BitmapFactory.ConvertToPbgra32Format(bitmap);
converted.Clear(Colors.Aqua);
});
```

Thanks guys. :)
And yes, creating the WB on the UI thread and then simply passing the pixel buffer to fill in background thread(s) is the way to go. I use that in my apps since day one. ;)
