I'll look into it.

With mono 0.31, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(string)) gives:

Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Type String cannot be
marshaled as an unmanaged structure.
Parameter name: t
in (unmanaged) /usr/lib/libmono.so.0(mono_raise_exception+0x20)
[0x6e409f3]
in (unmanaged) /usr/lib/libmono.so.0 [0x6e5d2d0]

Is this a bug in System.Runtime.InteropServices maybe?

Cheers,
