Cool.

Which version of mono are you using?  If its 1.0, I suggest trying again
with 1.0.1; many bugs were fixed.

That message is coming from the internal mono code that emulates w32
system calls.  You can run mono inside gdb and set a breakpoint on
g_logv to catch the assertion failure and get a backtrace.  The event
handle one is a bit harder to pin down.  If you can, try and reproduce
the problem with as small a test case as possible, attach it to a
bugzilla report at http://bugzilla.ximian.com and I can study it.
