[Mono-dev] Access violation when debugger is attached

[Jonathan Chambers]

Chris,
      Mono uses access violations to implement null reference exceptions on
Windows (IIRC). Mono handles these normally during program flow. However,
when the debugger is attached it handles them before mono can. I don't know
of a way to avoid this behavior. Normally, I just issue an assert in the
area I want to debug and then attach with the debugger. This may be the
issue you are having, but I don't know if an exception during mono_jit_init
is normal.

Thanks,
Jonathan
