This is completely unrelated to both the thread info and the hang issue,
of course. Why are you still using mint? Is that an old version?
Beta1 should have already mono enabled. Anyway, AFAIK this issue is
fixed in cvs (might have not made it into beta1).

I found a way to produce this error almost always:
export MONO_DISABLE_SHM=1
and then run make tests in mono/tests. Most of the tests will fail with
that message. I think this is a libgc bug. The easy workaround is to
change ABORT("thread_info failed") into 
	continue;
in darwin_stop_world.c in the libgc sources.
I'm waiting for feedback from the libgc maintainers for a more complete
and correct fix.
