I can confirm as well that Laurent's patch fixes the issue seen in my
application.   And thank you very much for making the 2.6_M patch.

To get mkbundle to work I edited
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.6_M/etc/mono/config to have
this line:


adding the full path allowed mkbundle to work.

[Laurent Etiemble]

Hello,

Good to hear that we are heading in the right direction (Thank you
again for Sledge Ham for its contribution). I am trying to get a clean
patch to submit and clear the remaning minor memory leaks left.

As you may have noticed, there was no release of Monobjc lately, thus
breaking the near 1-month release cycle. It is because I am focused on
solving the Snow Leopard issue before anything else. If you need a
particular fix, mail me and I will provide the patch.

I will post update of the Snow Leopard issue, as soon as I have some news.

Regards, Laurent Etiemble.
