Ahá!

On linux there seem to be no problem, i guess the problem lyes, as you
tell, in between mono and freebsd.. 

My Amd64-X2 mashine runs -CURRENT, where things are going pretty well.
As told, i remember to saw something similar, but it went away when ones
i updated the system (dont remember the date.. )


As soon as i recieve a pice of hardware im waiting, ill convert this to
RELENG_6, then i will be able to replicate the problem.

After this, ill try to solve this on two ways:

0.- Play around, an try to find something obviously wired that couse
this
1.- Track the problem as far as i can, and let someone with more
knowloedge look at this.
2.- Track wich date on -CURRENT fixes the problem, and try to understand
somehow the change, and try to patch mono for FreeBSD<7


good luck!
