Alright, I figured it might crash even on -current.  My -current box is
almost up.  I'll get a backtrace and bring it where it needs to go.
Thanks for letting me know that looking at XSP is still ahead of me.

Getting resolving crashes with Mono apps can be tricky.  Some apps crash
because of the C# code, some because of the unmanaged C code, and some
because bin/mono crashes.  Sometimes it's hard to tell where the crash
is.  In general to deal with a crash in bin/mono (like what is happening
with XSP) you do the following.

$ gdb /usr/local/bin/mono
(gdb) run /path/to/c-sharp/app.exe

With XSP you you need to cd to /usr/local/share/doc/xsp/test first
because xsp assumes by default that it's document root is the current
directory.  I'll take a look at it soon though.  Thanks.

Tom
