 the latest do not cause the error either. I have not been able to pin down what the specific 
 issue is yet, as the error is worthless, and generated in an inaccessible method in the 
 Page.  I assume it is having trouble locating the HtmlTextArea from the loaded control(s), 
 but I will have to build and instrument Mono itself to have a clue where and why.  Ugh.
 
 Hopefully that has gotten easier on the mactel since the early days.

+In the 2nd pass of ProcessPostData, the secondData collection is NULL, yet 
+_requiresPostBackCopy contains several ID entries for the HtmlTextArea and 
+HtmlInputText controls (despite the fact there are every type of control on the form, 
+dropdown, radiobutton, etc, only these are affected by this).
+
+For some reason in the Page.LoadPostData at the point it calls the handler in the 
+_requiresPostBackCopy iteration of control ids, the data variable is NULL, and this causes 
+the error in the controls.LoadPostData, because the control is not expecting to be passed a 
+null Hashtable.
+
+		if (_requiresPostBackCopy != null && _requiresPostBackCopy.Count > 0) {
+			string [] handlers = (string []) _requiresPostBackCopy.ToArray (typeof 
+(string));
+			foreach (string id in handlers) {
+				IPostBackDataHandler pbdh = FindControl (id) as 
+IPostBackDataHandler;
+				if (pbdh != null) {			
+					_requiresPostBackCopy.Remove (id);
+					// data is NULL here!!!
+if (pbdh.LoadPostData (id, data)) {
+							if (requiresPostDataChanged == null)
+								requiresPostDataChanged = new ArrayList ();
+		
+							requiresPostDataChanged.Add (pbdh);
+						}
+					
+		...
+
+It is easy to get lost in there, I still have no idea why the postbackdata hashtable being 
+passed is null.  All I know so far is that this only happens in Mono (not in IIS w/ .NET 1.0, 
+1.1 or 2.0), and only on Mono version > 1.2
