[Mono-dev] Mono crashes on copying of running profiler

[Miguel de Icaza]

You should not do that.

You are replacing the code behind the scenes.   You might as well poke
random values in memory.

On Unix, if you really cannot resist the urge of replacing a binary that is
in active use, you must first delete the file, then copy over.
