I'm pasting this from the Nabble Forum because it didn't make
into the mail:

Not sure about Unity's Mono (it's a customized version) but
"First-chance exception at 0x00000000" is usually not an error,
at least not in the old Mono version Unity is using.

This exception is an artifact of Mono's NullReferenceException handling.
You are supposed to ignore it.
