I created config file containing

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
</configuration>

In this case error does not occur.
It seems that some contents in application config file causes npgsql to fail.

I have no idea why mono opens application config file at all. I don't have such command in my 
application.
