[Mono-list] Bug in Environment.TickCount

[Thiago M. Sayão]

Thanks for the fix!

From
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.tickcount.aspx

The value of this property is derived from the system timer and is
stored as a 32-bit signed integer. Consequently, if the system runs
continuously, TickCount will increment from zero to Int32.MaxValue for
approximately 24.9 days, then jump to Int32.MinValue, which is a
negative number, then increment back to zero during the next 24.9 days.
