[Mono-list] Why mono GC does not realloc the heap after collect?

[Alex A Ermoshenko]

//Example code
//On the NetFarmewort - all work fine
//On Mono  - ~105MiB in the heap, after GC.Collect(). Expected ~5 MiB
////////////////
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace mono_gc_test
{
	class Program
	{
		static object alloc100MB()
		{
			byte[] data = new byte[100 * 1024 * 1024];
			return data;
		}
		static void msg(string text, bool wait)
		{
			Console.WriteLine(text);
			if (wait)
				Console.ReadLine();
		}
		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			object data = null;
			msg("Mono GC.Collect() realloc test.", false);
			msg("Press ENTER to alloc 100MiB of data", true);
			data = alloc100MB();
			msg("Press ENTER to GC.Collect()", true);
			data = null;
			GC.Collect();
			msg("Press ENTER to exit", true);
		}
	}
}
