 "Under CentOS 3.4 and Mono 1.1.10" case seems to be incorrect as you 
 should not see UTF-8 bytes you should see characters.

+Here are my results on NLD9 (tested with both your EXE and with an MCS
+compiled binary):
+
+My String: ÿÿÿÿgetstatus
+String Bytes:
+195  191  195  191  195  191  195  191  103  101  116  115  116  97

+So you may have two issues here. The first is how the text is
+displayed on the console. Mine works, yours don't. That's a config
+problem outside Mono.
+
+The second problem is that you shouldn't use Default (i.e.
+System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes) if you have a specific
+requirements on encoding. If you need to interop with other computers
+you should be using a specific encoding (e.g. ASCII, UTF8, Unicode...)
+that do not depend on your configuration.
