Uggh, this sounds like a bug. Are you using Windows Vista or a later 
version? We've had quite some trouble with AccessViolationExceptions 
lately. Please file a bug report at www.mono-project.com/Bugs together 
with a small repro and the complete console output (including any 
GLIB_CRITICALS or GLIB_WARNINGS you may get before the exception occurs).
