It might be worth researching why it hangs.   When you disable
MONO_SHARED_DIR some features stop working (anything that uses named
events, pipes, mutexes).

If Nant is using that for cross-process coordination (it might be, I
believe this was one of the reasons we had to implement the SHM stuff in
the first place).
