[Mono-osx] Registering an NSThread with Mono

[Kevin Heeney]

Okay, so I think it is an issue somehow with how I am invoking Mono.   
When being called from the main thread, the following code works.   
When being called from a separate thread, on the same object,  
mono_string_to_utf8 (val) below returns NULL but does not throw an  
exception.


	mono_thread_attach(domain);

	MonoClassField *field;
	MonoString* val;

	field = mono_class_get_field_from_name (myMonoclass, [FieldName  
UTF8String]);

	mono_field_get_value (myMonoObject, field, &val);
	char *p;
	p = mono_string_to_utf8 (val);  //p here will be null when being  
called from a secondary thread.

	NSString* retStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithUTF8String:p]; //on  
secondary threads, this line throws the exception "- 
[NSPlaceholderString initWithUTF8String:]: NULL cString" because p is  
null
	return retStr;

I am doing more checks (like checking to make sure the field is  
found, but I have removed that code in this sample).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kevin
