+Summary: mono --trace=program segfaults
+
+If you try to trace with the CVS runtime, you get a segfault. This is
+because in driver.c we have:
+
+
+735: mono_jit_trace_calls = mono_trace_parse_options (assembly, trace_options);
+....
+796: assembly = mono_assembly_open (aname, NULL);
+
+That is, the trace_spec structure is always initialized with assembly =
+NULL, causing a segfault in some situations.
+
+Solution is obviously to reorder the calls, but I am not familiar with
+runtime internals so I haven't tried to cook up a patch for fear of causing
+weird side effects.
