 and C1.Common. If the problem only shows when some assembly is missing,
 then this is a known bug, the mono runtime currently handles missing
 assemblies/types etc. very ungracefully by crashing/asserting.

+Yes, this is actually a critical problem for us.  We need the runtime
+to simply fail in the lookup, rather than aborting/crashing when an
+assembly could not be loaded.  There are some 3rd-party assemblies
+that Mono can't load (due to Nonstandard metadata heap), which are the
+root of the problem of assemblies not being found.
+Is there a way of quickly fixing this so that it is slightly more
+graceful?  Or is this a difficult thing to do with the Mono runtime
+code structure?
