[Mono-list] DBLinq exits with message 'Abort Trap'

[Abe Gillespie]

I hate to say this because so much of Mono is great, but you're
probably wasting your time using DbLinq.  It's very unstable and also
hasn't had any active development in a long time.  I wasted many hours
on DbLinq and ultimately decided to go with a commercial product  I've
enjoyed much success using Devart.  There is another free option that
might be worth your while but I have not worked with it myself so I
can't speak to its stability: http://bltoolkit.net/

Good luck.
