MonoDevelop Solution demoing the crash

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_7; en-US)
AppleWebKit/534.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/10.0.648.205 Safari/534.16

Unable to catch WCF errors.

Using a service generated by the silverlight service generator will crash the
app if called on a url that is down or bad or that throws an error back to
client. 

We use this to generate the service wrapper:


slsvcutil.exe http://localhost/GGGGG/Timesheet.svc?wsdl /namespace:"*,General" 
/d:z:\desktop /noConfig  /ser:DataContractSerializer


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generate a service wrapper with the Silverlight 4 slsvcutil.exe
2. Call it with a bad URL or URL that is down
3. Try to catch the exception - unable to, app crashes
Actual Results:  
Unable to catch exception

Expected Results:  
Should be able to catch the exception.

I have attached a sample app that will crash when the "Crash Me" button is
pressed. A number of use cases that also crash are in the code.

All code is in the AppDelegateIPhone.cs 

Run as iPhone in Simulator. iOS 4+
