that would be nice anyway, but at now we are testing the version 5.8.0 from the
mono-project repository. Version 4.2.4 has the additional problem that
we had to adjust the kernel parameter /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count from
65530 to 655330 and we don't know of side effects to other applications.
BTW our user needs mono to run the scientific biochem CLI application MaxQuant.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
