[Mono-dev] Difference on reference search between mono 2.4.2 and mono 2.4.3

[APS]

I agree with you, I already replaced Crystal but 
some legacy module still reference it. I don't 
use it on Mono, and I don't distribute it, it's 
only referenced in some assembly (and by now I can't remove the reference).
What is strange is that Mono 2.4.2.3 rebuilt from 
source on a CentOS machine doesn't complain about 
the reference, it emits a warning on debug output 
and keeps on loading the application, Mono 
2.4.2.3 on the vmware machine downloaded from 
mono website emits a warning and also the error 
reported without starting the application.
There's some option that influence this behavior?
