I've been playing around with it on my 5.2.1 box. Both the supplied GC
and the external boehmgc fail to work. A trivial hello world program
works, but nothing more complicated than that. I'm not sure why, the
problem is in misc.c, but it's not easy to debug. Seems like an endless
recursion in the garbage collector and/or stack corruption. If you want
to give debugging a go you can try this:

cd /usr/ports/lang/mono ; env CFLAGS="-g" STRIP="" make install (don't
clean)
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk-sharp; make build
gdb `which mono` $WRKSRC/parser/mono.core

Let the fun begin, as the offending line is '{' :-)

Cheers,
