I'm at a bit of a loss how to break this problem down.  It definitely
seems to be a GC problem in Mono as the total memory usage grows to
hundreds of Mb after a few hours.  It ssems to grow at around 30Mb an
hour.  I'm now running the same binaries on Windows and it's steady
around 1Mb of heap.

Is there any way to examine the heap from managed code so that at least
I can see which objects it is that are not being garbage collected?
Ideally, I need to be able to say that there are so many of each type of
object.

Regards,
Cliff.
