+What's the stack trace of the NullReferenceException you're getting? 
+It might be helpful to narrow down where things are breaking.
+
+Otherwise, I'm out of ideas as to what could be going wrong.
+
+You may have to resort to using gdb; break on the symbols
+Mono_Posix_Syscall_getpwent() and make sure it's behaving sanely, e.g.:
+
+$ gdb `which mono`
+gdb> b Mono_Posix_Syscall_getpwent
+gdb> run --debug your-program.exe --your-program-args-here
+...
