Here's a patch you should consider for mono-2.6.1. Specifically, I noticed
that /dev/shm/mono.pid files were piling up and not being cleaned up as they
should have been. mono-mmap.c tries to get rid of stale ones with a kill but
they don't check for ENOMEM return which causes the cleanup to fail.
Additionally, every other time I tried to start mono, it would just quit.

Here's the patch:

470c470
< 		if (curpid != pid && kill (pid, SIGCONT) == -1 && (errno == ESRCH ||
errno == ENOMEM) ) {
---
> 		if (curpid != pid && kill (pid, SIGCONT) == -1 && errno == ESRCH) {

This has been tested on various 2.6 Linux boxes successfully.
