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:
<dllmap dll="MonoPosixHelper"
target="/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/Versions/2.6_M/lib/libMonoPosixHelper.dylib"
os="!windows" />
adding the full path allowed mkbundle to work.
