+Summary: mono aborts when using reflection
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+The problem is difficult to reproduce outside our application (I tried to 
+reproduce it using a test case without success).
+
+Here's the mono output:
+
+** ERROR **: file class.c: line 1641 (mono_class_setup_vtable_general): 
+should not be reached
+aborting...
+Aborted (core dumped)
+
+
+Our application iterates on the dll files availables in a directory and 
+uses reflection to activate objects contained in these assemblies. The 
+application searches inside every assembly to find the implementations of 
+a pre-defined interface.
+
+Let say "IMyInterface" is the interface we are searching for,
+and suppose we have 2 assemlies (A.dll and B.dll) in the directory. If 
+A.dll and B.dll both contain an implementation of the IMyInterface (let 
+say ClassA and ClassB), the crash does not arise, both ClassA and ClassB 
+objects are instanciated. On the other hand, if A.dll does not contain an 
+implementation of the IMyInterface, the crash will arise when searching 
+in the B.dll assembly (assuming A.dll was searched first).
+
+Our code is quite simple, here's a sample:
+
+Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(assemblyName);
+foreach(Module module in assembly.GetModules())
+{
+	foreach(Type type in module.GetTypes())
+	{
+		if(	!type.IsAbstract && 
+			type.IsClass &&
+			typeof(IMyInterface).IsAssignableFrom(type))
+		{
+			try
+			{
+				IMyInterface impl = (IMyInterface) 
+Activator.CreateInstance(type);
+							
+				// Uses the IMyInterface object created...
+				// ...
+			}
+			catch
+			{
+				
+			}
+		}
+	}
+}
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. This problem is difficult to reproduce with a test case but our 
+application always crash when this situation occurs.
+
+Actual Results:
+mono aborts.
+
+Expected Results:
+Program continues to run.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
