[Mono-list] Encoding Issue .Net vs. Mono

[Diego Frata]

Specify which encoder you want to use (System.Text.Encoding.Unicode or
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8) for for dumping strings and you will get the same
behavior for .NET and Mono.

It just happens that Mono use a different encoder for it's default.
