Neither the app nor MonoDevelop obey kill -QUIT

I attach the log file. Here's what I've done:

- just start fresh MonoDevelop
- start debugging on the simulator
- don't interact with either MooDevelop nor with Simulator
- just wait couple of minutes
- select MonoDevelop window to detect spinning rainbow ball
- kill -QUIT the app process
- kill -QUIT the MD process
- The zipped log is available from
  https://www.dropbox.com/s/bi6we880ir6gbne/MonoDevelop.log.zip

Please do tell me if other stuff is needed to help pinpointing this
problem, anything to solve this...
