[Mono-list] Problem with Windows .NET and Mono.Security

[Rob Tanner]

Paco,

No, I didn't try v1.1.4 since the Mono website refers to it as the "unstable"
version.  But by your recommendation/suggestion, I I uninstalled v1.0.6 and
installed v1.14 and I am pleased to say it works now.

Thanks very much.
