The following works now for me:
GC_PRINT_STATS=1 mono program.exe

I took a snapshot ~7 min after starting the run.
ps shows the following:
8496 bzcschut  25   0  805m 750m 6992 R 99.8 18.6   6:47.62 mono
So 805m virtual size and 750m resident size. GC_PRINT_STATS latest stats were 
these:
Initiating full world-stop collection 780 after 236960208 allocd bytes
--> Marking for collection 780 after 236960208 allocd bytes + 16891392 wasted 
bytes
Collection 779 finished ---> heapsize = 762986496 bytes
World-stopped marking took 34 msecs
Complete collection took 78 msecs

Can somebody help me interpreting the results? Are there 762MB of objects 
live? Or are there 236MB of objects live?

Thanks,
