Hi.. ive been running a pair of WebServices over
mod_mono-1.2.4/mono-1.2.3.1 withouth much problems.

But problems with threads/semps are known..

It would be very interesting if you could file a detail bug in mono's
tracker about _POSIX_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED to see the reaction over
there.
Maybe that way, someone do something, and make us all happy... :)


cheers!
