[Mono-winforms-list] Can't even get MonoHelloWorld to run. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there,

I have occasionally been poking at the Winforms support to see how far
it's got, but always hit a roadblock. Having tried a few things, I have
now come to the conclustion that it is something related to my
environment which is causing the trouble. Even the "MonoHelloWorld" code
(from
http://anonsvn.mono-project.com/viewcvs/trunk/winforms/hello/swf-hello.c
s?rev=44917&view=markup) won't run under Mono (1.2.6 or 1.9) if built
using Visual Studio 2005.

Using the latest 1.9 test release (installed using the installer) I get
the following response (when running verbose):

D:\Data\ ... \bin\Debug>mono -v MonoHelloWorld.exe

Method (wrapper runtime-invoke) System.Object:runtime_invoke_void_string
(object,intptr,intptr,intptr) emitted at 00F50028 to 00F500BD (code
length 149) [MonoHelloWorld.exe]

Method System.StackOverflowException:.ctor (string) emitted at 00F50180
to 00F50196 (code length 22) [MonoHelloWorld.exe]

When attempting to run without the -v option, there is no visible
result.

Running the executable directly (i.e. using the .NET 2.0 framework), it
works perfectly (as far as I can judge).

Since there is no reverence to this the FAQ etc, this obviously isn't
the sort of thing everyone runs into... so can anyone suggest what I
might be doing wrong?
