+Summary: Stack overflow causes segmentation fault
+
+Description of Problem:
+When a stack overflow occurs, rather than throwing the appropriate
+exception, mono causes a segmentation fault.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Write a function that calls itself infinitely
+
+Actual Results:
+Segmentation fault
+
+Expected Results:
+System.StackOverflowException
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Consistently with my test program
+
+Additional Information:
+Following is my test program, which demonstrates the bug:
+
+using System;
+                                                                          
+     
+namespace Blow {
+        public class Killer {
+                                                                          
+     
+                public static void KillerMethod() {
+                        KillerMethod();
+                }
+                                                                          
+     
+                public static int Main(string[] args) {
+                        KillerMethod();
+                        return 0;
+                }
+        }
+}
