Please submit the needed patches to us so that other people don't
need to do even the minimal amount of work (assuming you needed
changes to mono).

Can you get a backtrace when this happens?

How much of the pthread code is shared between OpenBSD and FreeBSD/NetBSD?
It looks like libgc triggers a few bugs in those implementations
and it may be that the same bugs happen on OpenBSD as well. See
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=68134
for a few more details. Mailing Chris McClellen is a good idea, too, since
he has been debugging the issue.
