[Mono-dev] Cross-Appdomain remoting

[Michael Mudge]

Ah!  The idea of changing the lifetime was enough info for me to find the cause.

Hm, I could swear I saw a difference in behavior between .NET and
Mono, but my simplified test case revealed an identical error (with
slightly different text) in .NET - that led me to
InitializeLifetimeService.

I overrode InitializeLifetimeService on the MarshalByRef objects and
returned null - this prevents the objects from expiring.  Thanks for
the reply!
