[Mono-osx] Problem running VB.NET app with 1.1.13.2

[Joshua Kugler]

Just to preface: I don't think this is related to Windows.Forms, as I did read 
through a few messages about those on the list archive.

Tonight I downloaded version 1.1.13.2 from the /Download section and installed 
them on my Linux machine and a Mac machine.

I took a simple app I had written and compiled and tried to run them on the 
Linux box and Mac box.

On the Linux box, it ran flawlessly.  Woohoo!

My first try on the Mac box complained about something not implemented.  
Starting the X server solved that.

Then, I tried it again.  It displays the app, along with all visible buttons, 
but then it crashes, with this in the console:

cdesysadminmac:~/Desktop joshua$ mono WindowsApplication1.exe

I checked for libMonoPosixHelper.dylib, and it is 
in /Libraries/Frameworks/Mon.framework/Libraries

I didn't see anything in the install notes.  Is there some post-install step I 
missed or that is not documented?

Thanks!  I look forward to using Mono to make a cross platform App here at 
work!
