Chapter 5's MultiDimArray.cs demonstrates what I believe to be a problem. Mono compiles it okay, but on running you get (erroneously, I believe) an IndexOutOfRangeException at line 58: 

    // Rectangular array of reference objects:
    IntHolder[,] a4 = {
      { new IntHolder(1), new IntHolder(2)},
      { new IntHolder(3), new IntHolder(4)},
      { new IntHolder(5), new IntHolder(6)},
    };

I entered this in bugzilla a while ago, but I don't know how to rediscover its status.

Abso-freakin-lutely! One of the most disappointing things in the final push for publication is that we decided we had to back off an explicit commitment to Mono compatibility because we haven't set things up for a Mono make, regression test, etc. Any help from the Mono community in terms of feedback is hugely appreciated (many people downloaded the May draft and helped shape the final book -- thank you!).
