What version of FreeBSD are you using?  With garbage collection enabled,
Mono has behaved this way for me for quite some time on FreeBSD 5.x.  If
you have the Ports Collection, /usr/ports/lang/mono is marked as broken
for all 5.x versions up to and including 5.2-current.  With FreeBSD 4.x,
I believe that Mono works fine.  This behavior is something I have been
wanting to try to fix for a while, but Linux systems are readily
available enough to me that getting FreeBSD fixed is not a very high
priority (even though I prefer to use FreeBSD).
