I meant to put the --debug *in* the monodevelop script, like this:

OSX_VERSION=$(uname -r | cut -f1 -d.)

if [ $OSX_VERSION -lt 9 ]; then
         $MONO --debug $ASSEMBLY "$@"
else
         exec -a monodevelop $MONO --debug $ASSEMBLY "$@"
fi

That being said, I'm pretty sure it should have worked the way you did 
it.  Unfortunately I can't test it out right now.

You already fixed your monodevelop script so it would run on 10.4, 
right?  This looks like the error MD gets which causes it to crash on 
10.4 during launch if you don't fix the monodevelop script.

Anyway, passing --debug isn't *that* important.  Just run MD the way you 
can run it, and when you run into your crash situations, get the 
stacktraces from Console.app.
