[Mono-dev] SGen improved and looking for testers

[Jonathan Gagnon]

Here's a simple test case that doesn't behave properly with sgen.  The
runtime doesn't crash, but I get a NullReferenceException where I shouldn't.

The same program runs perfectly with Boehm.

That's good to hear!  We're getting similar reports from the Plastic SCM
folks.

There's not too much I can make of this, unfortunately.  Does your
application use non-root appdomains?

Can I reproduce this myself somehow?  If not, would you be willing to
spend some time helping me figure out this bug?
