+Summary: Slow memory leak with mono during a long computation
+
+Description of Problem: 
+Slow memory leak with mono during a long computation.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Connects and retrieves all files from
+svn://svn.bioinfo.ensmp.fr/test/monoleak
+
+2. Run the following command line
+$ mono Benchmark.exe sd all 100 2 sprot40.fasta output.txt
+
+Actual Results:
+This is a very intensive computation that should requires around 150h of
+CPU (tested with 2Ghz Amd64). The memory usage is going to grow up to 2Go
+and the program crashes with an OutOfMemoryException.
+
+Expected Results:
+Over WinXP, the memory usage remains within a 300M to 400M limit. The
+memory requirement is quite stable over time (no peak). The program
+terminates correctly after 100h on a 3.6Ghz Xeon CPU.
+
+Additional Information:
+I am using mono 1.1.8.3 on a RedHat on Amd64 machine with 2Go of memory.
+I suspect that the behavior reflects a (slow) memory leaks in mono.
+
+I know that using a such intensive program to identify the bug is true
+pain, but I do not any other way on this matter.
