[Mono-dev] Unhandled Exception with System.DateTime

[the mad mole]

I have cross-compiled Mono 10.2.8 for an embedded MIPS platform, including
a few patches suggested by Autif Khan on this forum.  Basic functionality
seems to be there, however I'm getting an exception when I try to
instantiate DateTime.Now (or UtcTime, doesn't matter).  Any suggestion on
how to debug this?  The constant "4004668917" (0xEEB265F5) is always
printed, i.e. it's not increasing like a time value.

Thanks in advance: TMM
