[Mono-list] Ignoring NullReferenceExceptions from Mono in gdb

Yeah, I know this. It's actually a testing routine where I run code  
knowing that it will null reference, but running it will check that  
Mono can verify the IL. It's not the logic of my program that I'm  
testing - it's the IL that I've generated.

Any solution to my problem with gdb?
