Hmmm ... it looks like it is blowing up in "libqt-mt" when the native
library is unloaded using "dlclose".  I'm not sure how to debug that.

Mono doesn't appear to call "dlclose" at shutdown time, so it may
avoid the SEGV by simply not doing any cleanup on dynamic libraries.
Unless the "dlclose" is happening somewhere that I can't find right now.

You could try commenting out the call to "ILDynLibraryClose" in
"ILExecProcessDestroy" and seeing if that helps.  It isn't really
a long-term solution though.

I don't have Mono installed, only the CVS sources.  I will install
Qt# soon.  (Reason #154 why Rhys writes code generators in C instead
of C#: no bootstrapping problems! :-) ).

Cheers,

Rhys.
