Hi,

As it turns out, the problem was permissions.  The whole of the Mono
runtime environment was being installed with proper permissions, save
for the GAC -- the GAC for some strange reason was being installed with
proper owner permissions, but absolutely zero group and world
permissions, resulting in Mono (when being run as a user) not finding
the libraries in the GAC.

This was a base Debian server install, without Debian's Mono installed
(they are using _far_ too old a version for what I need).
