 I see that this bug is still open. I got latest trunk code and this
 bug has not been fixed. Why will Mono guys not take this bug fix?

 Because other work has taken priority

+This patch fixes a problem I was seeing with lots of timers on mono
+svn head(r68140):
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference
+not set to an instance of an object
+  at System.Timers.Timer.StartTimer () [0x0005d] in
+/home/cmorgan/mono/mcs/class/System/System.Timers/Timer.cs:189 
+  at (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.MulticastDelegate:invoke_void ()
+
+Timers appear to work as well as they did with and without this patch
+but I haven't run any of the test suite after applying it.
