           Summary: Process.HasExited does not work on Mono 2.0 runtime
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 2.0
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: misc
        AssignedTo: mono-bugs at lists.ximian.com

The following code works fine under .NET and Mono 2.0 on Windows but does not
work on the Mac OS.  On the mac, the process correctly starts the texeditor
app.  The problem is that HasExited incorrectly returns true immediately even
though the window has not been closed.

Dim Progname As String =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory) +
"Myfile.txt"
        Dim proc As New Process()
            With DAWproc.StartInfo
                .FileName = Progname
                .Verb = "Open"
                .CreateNoWindow = True
            End With
            proc.Start()
            While Not proc.HasExited 
            End While

The runtime error on the mac is:

mono(333,0xa000ed88) malloc: ***  Deallocation of a pointer not malloced:
0x1a5898; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an
allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to
help debug

This error occurs on the  proc.Start() command.
