[Mono-list] Service do not start

[Sergio C. Charrua]

Hello all!

i've been developing som Windows Services, using VS2005/2008 with no problems at all. Everything compiles correctly, Moma says everything is 100% correct, and everything run in windows (XP, Server, etc...).
I've a CentOS 5.3 server running Mono since last September, and before upgrading from Mono 1.9 to latest 2.4.2.2, the same Windows Service was running correctly. 
All that this service does is listen to a TCP IP Port, receive some data, and answers back. As i said, it used to work perfectly, until i upgraded to Version 2.4.2.2 . 
the strangest thing yet is that no error messages, no log events, nothing is catching the execption. I've even made a Logger class that logs everything to a text file, and it doesn't even catch any messages. No .lock file is created, nothing at all
So my guess is that the Service is not starting/working at all.

the start.sh file is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/;
mono-service2 -l:/etc/GameServer/gameserver.lock -m:GameServer ServerService.exe

if i do the following command:
mono --debug --trace ServerService.exe

i get :

BUT the server has 4Gb RAM, and actually has 700Mb free physical memory...so Memory cannot be a problem...

I repeat, the service used to work 100% in Mono 1.9 ... 

Any ideias?
