mono, mint coredump :-/

[Jose Nazario <jose_(_at_)_monkey_(_dot_)_org>]

following up on some advice from jmallett_(_at_)_freebsd, i decided to poke mint
a bit harder. i was using the supplied mono tests and found that mint
doesn't work so well.

when i issue the command:
	$ mint --trace vararg.exe

i wind up with a coredump:
...

that was the only one that barfed min. all others hang ... typically at

  (671744) Leaving 00 Test.test:Main => [0]


in a nutshell, mint doesn't look so reliable right now on openbsd. just
some more data for whoever wants to pick up a port.
