A MONO_TYPE_VALUETYPE is a structure: when you need to copy it, you need
to use memcpy (it's optimized with a register load/store if the size is
4 bytes).

It's not normal:-) A 0 result would be normal.
It's probably getting a signal (segfault?) and mint has a bug that will
make it quit with 255 error message instead of printing the backtrace.

See above, use memcpy.

The other errors I explained already in another mail.
