+Hmm, this is very weird - epecially since 0xc is not a valid value for SeekOrigin.
+
+However, this may be a "bootstrapping issue".  Try the following:
+
+* remove the old Mono.CSharp.Debugger.dll
+
+* recompile and install the class libs, including Mono.CSharp.Debugger
+
+* compile a new mcs _without_ debugging.
+
+* try compiling mcs with debugging with the newly compiled mcs.
+
+Your old mcs won't be able to use the new symbol writer and vice-versa, but you _should_ get an exception in this case.
