When using mono on Windows XP, and Windows Vista, it stops with a pop-up dialog
that says "Fatal error in GC: too many heap sections".

This appears to be a widely documented problem with the Boehm GC. A selected
link, that gives what I believe is a working solution, is

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Code stops with pop-up dialog that says "Fatal error in GC: too many heap
sections".

Expected Results:  
Code completes successfully.

This bug might duplicate Bug 435906, but it is difficult to be sure from that.
