Is this under Mono or .NET?

If under Mono, you probably need to edit $prefix/etc/mono/config, and
remove the <dllmap/> entry for MonoPosixHelper.  Furthermore, Win32
LoadLibrary() (which Mono uses to load MonoPosixHelper) will only look
in %PATH% and the same directory as the .exe doing the loading -- in
this case, the directory of mono.exe, NOT your managed exe.  (Other
directories are also searched; see
http://www.mono-project.com/dllimport).  Consequently, you'll probably
need to edit %PATH% to contain the directory holding intl.dll and
MonoPosixHelper.dll so that it can be LoadLibrary()'d without providing
a path.

I'm not sure what would go wrong under .NET.
