 (I CC'ed Daniel Eischen, who's listed as the author of the lock.*)
 
 Looking deeper into the problem, heres the backtrace from the mcs crash 
 (with the assertion as mentioned above):

 Looks like memory corruption to me.
 
 
 I just restarted with kern.smp.disabled=1 and now I get different crashes:
 
 a) The well known:
 Assertion failed: (lu->lu_myreq->lr_owner == lu), function 
 _lock_acquire, file /usr/src/lib/libpthread/sys/lock.c, line 171.
 zsh: abort (core dumped)  mcs test.c -pkg:gtk-sharp
 
 b) And the newcomer:
 zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  mcs test.c -pkg:gtk-sharp
 
 
 And here comes the backtrace of the latter:

 Playing around with mono trying to crash it, I found the following 
 program to be a good starting point:
 
 using Gtk;
 using System;
 
 class Test : Gtk.Bin
 {
    public static void Main ()
    {
      Application.Init ();
      Button btn = new Button ("Click me");
      btn.Clicked += new EventHandler (Clicked);
      btn.Show ();
      Window window = new Window ("Hello");
      window.Add (btn);
      window.Show ();
      Application.Run ();
    }
 
 
    static void Clicked (object o, EventArgs args)
    {
      Application.Quit ();
    }
 }
 
 Compiling with:
 
 mcs test.cs -pkg:gtk-sharp
 
 It sometimes crashes with
 
 zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  mcs test.cs -pkg:gtk-sharp
 
 but on the other hand the compilitation succeeds (after setting 
 GC_DONT_GC=True) from time to time. So I guess the gc trashes
 pthread data structures under certain conditions.
 
 
 HTH,
