The test case works just fine with this assembly added to the picture. That's
why I asked for the full app - pack the entire directory from which you run the
application, with everything in it.

But, to be frank, I suspect just what you're afraid of. Make sure you don't
have assemblies from two different Mono versions mixed up (if you use parallel
environments).
What fails for you is this line (class/System.Web/System.Web/HttpRuntime.cs,
the static constructor):

runtime_section = (HttpRuntimeSection) WebConfigurationManager.GetSection
("system.web/httpRuntime");

If any exception is thrown for this, you should see it at the start of the
application, but it's possible we swallow it somehow. In order to test that,
you will need to recompile System.Web from either the 2.10 source tarball or
from the mono-2-10 branch. The line shown above is followed by a catch block -
add

Console.WriteLine (ex);

at the beginning of that block to see what (if any) exception is thrown.
