[Mono-list] mono-service doesn't start my service - no errors

[Rafael Teixeira]

Recently a fix for static constructors not being automatically called,
went into SVN, what looks like what you are telling. I think the fix
affects the in the native part of the runtime.

So, probably, you need to retest your case with a newer runtime compiled
from SVN head.

Hope it helps,
