[Mono-devel-list] System.Drawing.RectangleF problem

[Peter Dennis Bartok]

Sigh. This is most likely a mismatch between the cairo version and the 
libgdiplus code. An internal cairo structure was duplicated into libgdiplus 
and it afterwards changed in cairo. Everytime I've seen this crash it was 
because of that mismatch. I will take out some time and see if we can't get 
rid of that structure to avoid such problems in the future.

Try this patch for libgdiplus:
Index: gdip.h
