I tried looking at the source code and found that it belonged to .GNU

So it's not a mono bug ... it's a .GNU bug .. ;-) 

In fact it was exactly the same code except that it was in X11 license
while the .GNU code was GPL'd .... How can this license switch be possible ?.
Have the 2 projects merged ? ...
