[Mono-list] Our AI application crashes Mono

[Pedro Santos]

Hello,

We have an AI application that resolves moves for our board game
(similar to chess). This application uses a lot of recursivity and
it's very CPU/Mem intensive.
We're able to run it ok on a windows machine, but mono crashes with
gdb information.

I have put the application online, it's very simple to run and without
dependencies:

If I run it on windows, it works fine:


\Server\Linux\Bin>OrionsBelt.BotHandler.exe --bot001Test
Calculating moves...
Calculating moves DONE
b:5_3-4_3;m:7_3-6_2-2;m:7_5-6_6-5;b:6_6-2_6;
#Elapsed: 1,203125 seconds


However, when running under mono:

mono OrionsBelt.BotHandler.exe --bot001Test
Calculating moves...
Stacktrace:
Native stacktrace:
        mono [0x80cbed4]

        /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6(clone+0x5e) [0xb7e627ee]
Debug info from gdb:
Cannot access memory at address 0x80

Could you please advise me on how to proceed? Should I create a bug or
something? Is there anything I can try or do?

Oh, and my mono version is:

# mono -V
Mono JIT compiler version 2.4 (/branches/mono-2-4/mono r129080 Wed Mar

Thank you for your time.
