My suggestion would be using a separate ThreadPool for the channel than the one used by the system, since Dick is aware race conditions can happen (deadlocks) between code using the System ThreadPool in the process and the channel. Diff. ThreadPools will fix it. pablo Miguel de Icaza

I'd second that, and would like to help as well. On lightweight devices such as netbooks the garbage collection latency becomes much more noticeable and a production implementation of SGen would be very nice. -Thad -Original Message- From: mono-devel-list-boun...@lists.ximian.com

I forgot to mention what happens. You get an unhandled exception. We're planning on writing a process that goes through and finds a bunch of these cases so we can submit a huge bug report of all the cases we know of where Mono differs from say ICU's normalization. ws1048:~ tom.philpot$ gmcs
