[Mono-winforms-list] Error Running WinForms App -- Revisited

[Freddie Witherden]

I started up a 'failsafe' session, which is no more than a terminal  
and this is what I got:

Mono System.Windows.Forms Assembly [Revision: 54007; built: 2005/12/6  
14:35:24]
Keyboard: British keyboard layout
Gtk colorscheme read

=================================================================
Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.

I am not sure what to do now, as I get the same error every time. It  
is at this point that I would fire up my Windows PC and try out the  
exe, and then use 'csc' to compile the code and see what I get. So,  
to check that the executable was not bad I went off and copied it to  
my ubuntu computer (of which I installed what is probably an archaic  
version of mono and libgdiplus) and then ran it, and for a split  
second it worked (well I saw the GUI in all its 'motif' look-alike),  
until I errored on me saying that I did not have a POSIX Helper DLL,  
but the main point is that it is compiled correctly. As far as I can  
tell the problem is with System.Windows.Forms, and if I knew the  
address of your IRC channel, I would, at this point be asking a  
developer to take a detailed look at my stack trace. I do run  
applications like Mono-develop and a few console applications of my  
own creation all the time, so the core mono runtime stuff seems to  
befine.
