[Mono-list] Incompatibility in MONO SelectNodes method

[Andrus]

In bug #343960

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=343960

I presented code which works OK in .NET  but crashes in MONO 1.2.6 pvw2.
Probably SelectNodes() in .NET creates new list but in MONO it does not.
Atsushi refuses to fix this and marks it INVALID several times.
This is fundamental incompatibility between .NET and MONO XML DOM 
implementation.

Is it really reasonable not to fix this ?

How to change this code so it works in MONO also ? 

Andrus.
