[Mono-devel-list] Stopping the GC inside program?

Hello,

I do not know enough about the Ecore internals to be able to tell, I was
just trying to pass on the information that we have collected on the use
of threads in the Mono runtime.

Am not sure about the Posix functionality here.

It will still get in the way.  This is a limitation on the Boehm GC;  it
might be possible to configure the GC to use a different signal
though.
