Okay, at this point I've tried a few things:

The following configurations segfault instantly:

	2.6.10 built with SuSE-like .config file on SuSE Linux Enterprise
	Server 9 runtime with 1.0.5 binaries for SuSE

	2.6.10 built with Knoppix-like .config file on SLES9 runtime
	with 1.0.5 binaries for SuSE

	2.6.10 built with SuSE-like .config file on Knoppix runtime
	(chroot) with Debian 1.0.5 binaries

	2.6.10 built with Knoppix-like .config on Knoppix runtime
	(CD-boot) with Debian 1.0.5 binaries

	2.6.10 built with SuSE-like .config file on SLES9 with
	hand-built vanilla make, make install binaries for mono 1.0.5,
	which results in mint, but not mono, this is an amd64 build.
	Mint segfaults.

	2.6.10 built with  Knoppix-like .config on Knoppix runtime
	(CD-boot) with hand-built vanilla mak-e, make install binaries
	for mono 1.0.5.  This is an x86 build, as all the others are.

ALL of the above scenarios result in segmentation faults.  I would
appreciate some assistance in narrowing down the source of this problem
from the mono side of things.

What does work:

	Hand-built Mono 1.1.3 for SLES9 on SLES9 for amd64.

I'm using gcc (GCC) 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux).  The kernel is 100% vanilla.

Please advise.
