Hey, you're gtk-send-pr guy!  Nice.:)  Yeah, the threading issues I've
labeled BMA (beyong my abilities).  Hopefully I'll have backtraces for
anyone interested after 5.3 is released and I update my jail box.  I
tried getting Mono Develop to work this evening now that gtksourceview-
sharp port has been fixed but it won't even compile with Mono 1.0.2.
I'll have to see what I can find.

By the way, I took a look a Mono Debugger this after noon and I noticed
some not too good news here:

http://cvs.hispalinux.es/cgi-bin/cvsweb/debugger/README.FreeBSD?
rev=1.4&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup&cvsroot=mono

Looks like getting it to work on FreeBSD is a while off.  :(
