I did install from the official windows installer.

After some more investigation, it seems to me that the etc/mono/config
file (attached) might be incorrect for the windows install.

It maps libc to libc.so.6, because libc.dll does not exist under the
mono root, nor does it exist under my cygwin root.

Take a closer look at that callstack:

It's failing because monodoc is trying to invoke chmod(2), which doesn't
exist on windows (except through cygwin.dll, but that doesn't count).

The obvious answer is that monodoc is not currently portable to Windows.
I don't know how much work it would take to make it portable.
