+Summary: null reference exception in System.Timers.StartTimer()
+
+We are intermittently getting null reference exception message:
+System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of
+an object
+in <0x000e0> System.Timers.Timer:StartTimer ()
+in (wrapper delegate-invoke) System.MulticastDelegate:invoke_void ()
+
+Machine is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. Mono is 1.1.13.8.
+
+Since the exception is not in our code but inside the class library, we
+need desperately a work around or a fix for it.
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Very often - on one machine it happens 99% of the time, on another it
+happens 50% of the time. I tried running our app with mono -v option to get
+more information, but it prints mostly useless information about "emitting"
+code.
