[Mono-list] Windows vs Linux - different behavior using Facebook.dll

[Abe Gillespie]

My first post about this is still being held because of its size.
I've hosted the attachment on my server this time instead.

Hello All,

I'm using this Facebook toolkit as I attempt to develop a Facebook app:

http://www.codeplex.com/FacebookToolkit

As crappily engineered as it is, at least it's already written and I
don't have to spin wheels writing boilerplate cruft.  Anyhow ...

Mono is having a problem with the assembly during its use of string
resources.  Hopefully it's not a Mono bug so someone can just set me
straight and I can move forward.

Use this simple program as a test case:

using System;
using Facebook.API;

namespace Testing
{
   class Program
   {
       static void Main(string[] args)
       {
           try
           {
               FacebookAPI api = new FacebookAPI();
               api.CreateSession("xxx");
           }
           catch (Exception e)
           {
               Console.WriteLine(e.Message + Environment.NewLine +
e.StackTrace);
           }
           Console.WriteLine("Done");
       }
   }
}

The output on Windows (it's an error with a stack trace because I'm
supplying a nonsense authentication token) is:

Invalid API key
  at Facebook.API.FacebookAPI.ErrorCheck(XmlDocument doc)
  at Facebook.API.FacebookAPI.LoadXMLDocument(String rawXML)
  at Facebook.API.FacebookAPI.CreateSession()
  at Facebook.API.FacebookAPI.CreateSession(String authToken)
  at Testing.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Documents and Settings\abe\Deskt
op\shark\LostAndFound\Testing\Testing\Program.cs:line 13
Done

The output on Linux is:
