I don’t think the actual bug has been reported twice, just Alexander already 
picked it up (maybe it’s affecting him, too).  My colleague opened the bug 
report because we updated the mono framework we are certifying against to 
3.12.1 and this issue appeared.  He said we didn’t have issues with mono 
3.4.0-5, although I haven’t independently verified that.

We have several cases where we have runtime crashes with SIGSEGV, and I’m 
trying to eliminate as many as I can.  This seems like low hanging fruit since 
it’s so easily reproducible.
