Very nice!  You might want to look into compiling and running the
compiler test suite and the mono engine test suite (mcs/tests and
mono/mono/tests).

Yeah, we expected something like that would be needed.  Could you post
the diff, so we can discuss how to best split the code?

Sounds like a problem in the port.  That can mean all sorts of things,
it is just the behavior when something is going badly on the binding to
the OS.
