Okay, I found it in the latest CVS source code.

The problem happens in approximately line 760 of interface.cs[1]. The 
variable "builder" is null at that point.

This means precisely nothing to me, but hopefully it will help you to 
help me :)

Stuart.

[1] mono --debug reported it as line 766 which threw me a little, 
because that's the line number of the *next* statement. I put in a 
Console.WriteLine before line 766 and it never happened, but a 
Console.WriteLine before line 760 listed builder as null, which is 
consistent with the NRE because line 760 tries to call a method on 
builder. Is this a known bug in mono --debug's reporting of line numbers?
