Message-ID: <34E73CC1202BF246B7DE3463BEBC0689A551B3@postie.optiscan.com>

Hi,

Anybody been able to get a Visual Studio 2005 .NET solution compiling on
Linux (under mono)?

We wish to run a CruiseControl.NET server on Windows and on Linux.  So
ideally, bar some configuration and tool differences, I'd hoped the same
Visual Studio 2005 solution could be compiled on both Windows and Linux.

I have installed CruiseControl.NET and NAnt on Linux.  All seems OK,
except compiling the Visual Studio 2005 solution.  On Windows I use
msbuild to do the compilation, just passing the solution file.

Questions:
1.	Is there some way to install and use msbuild on Linux (using
mono)?
2.	Nant on Mono doesn't seem to support the <solution> task, using
it returns a error.
3.	Is there something I'm missing, I'd have thought this was pretty
standard thing to do.  I tried xbuild, which seemed to compile based on
the csproj.  But this seems tedious at best given the number of projects
we have.  Is there an easier way to use xbuild in Nant to do this?
4.	I tried converting the Visual Studio 2005 solution using
MonoDevelop, but this failed.  Not really what I wanted to do anyway, as
I wanted to use the same files on both Windows and Linux.

Any help much appreciated.

You can use MonoDevelop to directly build the VS2005 solution. Either
from the GUI or from the command line like -
   mdtool build --buildfile:foo.sln

MD can directly work with VS2005 solutions, no conversion to any other
format required.

Hasn't the capability of building VS2005 sln files be shared between 
xbuild and MD? If not, why?

Thanks in advance,

No, its not shared currently. At the time this capability was added to MD,
our MSBuild api wasn't complete enough to support that. But Marek Sieradzki
has fixed that, and he infact had a patch to add the relevant support to MD,
which might be integrated later.

Thanks Ankit. This interests me because I plan to setup a continuous 
integration system that builds solutions everytime there is a commit. I 
hope to help improve all of this by notifying all bugs I find about 
incompatibilities between msbuild and xbuild.

I'm also want to install mono on Centos 5 x86_64, but there are not any 
rpms for RHEL4 nor generic installer for x86_64 on mono download page.

So is there any way to install mono on Centos 5 x86_64 from rpms?

Darren,
 
Support for building VS2005 solutions is available in NAnt CVS, but needs
little more work.
 
I've done some limited tests using it with xbuild, but with mixed success.

I do not know if someone would have packaged Mono for that platform. But
you can use the generic installer in your case too. The x86/64 magic
allows you to run "legacy 32 bits applications" :-)



Kind regards,

Adrien

They're not available on any mayor repository that I have checked. You 
can take current rawhide specs and patches [1][2][3][4], they'll build 
on Centos5 (x86_64) with little adjustments.

Hopefully it'll end up on EPEL[5] sooner or later. I have read somewhere 
that someone was already interested on maintaining it. In the mean time 
you'll have to build them yourself though.

If you plan to use FC5, FC6, FC7, you can fetch the packages for x86 and

Hello,

I found the reason for the JavaScript error (see my last mail). 

This is a short piece of the JavaScript file where the error is located. IE
and Opera don't like
the comma at the end of line 9. I am not sure if mono add this sort of code
to the JavaScript file.

Maybe there is a bug in a ScriptHandler- Manager or something else.  

1
AjaxControlToolkit.ControlBase.registerClass("AjaxControlToolkit.ControlBase
", Sys.UI.Control);
2 AjaxControlToolkit.Resources={
3 "Common_InvalidPaddingUnit":"A unit type of \"{0}\" is invalid for

  corresponding to the name \"{0}\"",
9 "ExtenderBase_ControlNotRegisteredForCallbacks":"This Control has not been

10 };

Sorry, if this is now the wrong mailing list. =)

Hello,

thanks for this update Miguel. 

I have compiled the assembly successful. The first error does
not occur anymore. I think it was my fault, because I was wondering
that this assembly was not compiled, so I used the assembly 
delivered by Microsoft. 

Now I have another problem. I am using the "AJAX Control Toolkit" to
check if everything working fine. I know that this toolkit is not
part of the mono project.

Firefox displays all correct, but other browsers like IE and Opera
put JavaScript errors.

Here is the output of the Opera error console:

Subject: [Mono-list] [ANNOUNCE] Monotooth 0.1.0 Beta released
Message-ID: <46B0B383.9080807@hytti.uku.fi>

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to announce the official beta release of Monotooth. This 
release now has a stream, meaning that one can serialize an object and 
send it over bluetooth. This should open ventures for example OBEX, 
since protocols can be emulated with the use of serialization (see 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.iformatter.aspx).

The sourceforge download site has a source package, which is located here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=190407&package_id=240572

As usual the SVN sources are available here:

http://monotooth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/monotooth

I am very open to suggestions, questions, patches, requests and bug
reports, so please send them :) .

The official IRC channel for monotooth resides in FreeNode and its name
is of course #monotooth.

With Regards,

Dear Santa Claus, I wish the same up-to-date packages would be available
for maintenaining Debian/Ubuntu based-hosts :-D

Someone talked here about a 1.2.5 release some days ago. Is this one
(still) planned more or less officially ?

Kind regards,

Adrien

Dear Adrien,
Ubuntu Gutsy currently has Mono 1.2.4 and MonoDevelop 0.14, and in  
some areas it ships more CLI libraries than Java libraries. Not sure  
about Christmas though. ;-)

I've been using NAnt and relatively standard editors (Vim and Emacs  
are 'relatively' cross-platform) and then as the other folks have  
already mentioned Subversion can be used to set properties on files  
to ensure line-ending standardization.

The rub really comes when you need to work with developers that use  
Visual Studio 2005 (exclusively! >=[) then it's either usually a case  
of running their existing project files through prj2make and hoping  
for the best or making your case for Nant or something like Premake/ 
PreBuild.

Subject: [Mono-list] Oracle/OCI Thread Abort?
Message-ID: <11955212.post@talk.nabble.com>


Greetings!  I'm running mono 1.2.4 that was compiled from source on OpenSuSE
10.2.  I have the Oracle Instant Client version 10.2.0.3.  I am getting the
following exceptions after calling several stored procedures in Oracle.  It
will get thrown after 10 or so sproc calls.  I'm thinking it might be an
issue with OCI not being thread-safe.  I've tried with connection pooling on
and off with the same result.  I'm running this from a console app.  I'd
appreciate any ideas.

Thanks,
Jason

Subject: [Mono-list] Is mono suitable for building an XML-RPC Sever?
Message-ID: <befee6d80708011729g1b9d32e1teb74f6e261a7b393@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Recently I was thinking about building a XML-RPC Server based on MONO.

It's main purpose is to providing an easy-to-use interface for our
system.   You can think it as a gateway software which interpret
XML-RPC request to our inner system protocol.

Last week, I've talked with a BEA sales man about their Jrockit JVM.
He told me that any runtime  environment would slow done severely when
collecting garbage.  And even if Jrockit is the fastest JVM on the
world,  it still has that problem.

So, what I want to know is that, did someone succeed in some similar
job based on MONO?

Thanks.

Hi,

I would like to know the following code will work in linux using Mono & .Net


 Sub Test()
 Dim FSO

 Dim MSProjectApp
 Dim INPath,OUTPath

 Const pjDoNotSave = 0

 INPath = Document.ConvertMPP.filename.value
 OUTPath = Replace(INPath,".mpp",".mpd")

 'validate the IN and OUT parameters
 If INPath = "" OR OUTPath = "" Then
  ' error condition - does not require any action
 Else
  'Validate the Input file
  Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

  If FSO.FileExists(INPath) Then
   'convert the mpp to mpd
   Set MSProjectApp = CreateObject("MSProject.Application")

   MSProjectApp.FileOpen(INPath)
   MSProjectApp.FileSaveAs(OUTPath)
   MSProjectApp.Application.FileCloseAll(pjDoNotSave)

   Set MSProjectApp = Nothing
  End If

  If FSO.FileExists(OUTPath) Then
   'FSO.DeleteFile(OUTPath)  ' commented,
  End If

  Set FSO = Nothing
 End If

End Sub

Thanks

The code seems based around driving MSProject.Application.  So unless
you have some magic copy of Microsoft Project that runs on Linux, then
no it won't run on Linux. :-,)

(The use of the FSO could be converted to System.IO .File etc calls but
that's minor compared to the first).

Can I then mention my library Brecham.Obex, it can provide the OBEX
support.  It provides full OBEX support (PUT, GET, SETPATH,
Folder-Listings, asynchronous-style calling etc), and only needs a
Stream to connect to.  It runs well on Mono (there are one or two issues
in the sample applications which I expect to be fixed with Mono 1.2.5).
It is available from http://32feet.net/   It is closed-source currently,
but free for any use.  I'd be please to hear if it works with the
Monotooth library.  Contact me by email or at the forum at the 32feet
website.


Now, just giving it a short mention, I'll note that 32feet.NET itself is
a library providing support for Bluetooth, IrDA (and simple OBEX) for
.NET.  So covering the same area as your library, but supporting
different platforms, as currently it runs on Win32 and WinCE, supporting
the MSFT Bluetooth stack on both.  It is open-source via CodePlex.

I've made a few changes locally to Mono's socket-io.c allow it to work.
But that's for another message.  Contact me if anyone's interested.

To a certain extent, that has to be true for *every* system.  In C, if
you allocate a lot of short-lived objects on the heap, you'll spend a
lot of time within malloc(3) and free(3), potentially fragment the heap
(depending on allocation pattern), and come to a grinding halt when
malloc(3) can't find any free memory because it's too fragmented.  (Or
on Linux, come to a grinding halt as the system starts paging like mad
because malloc(3) never returns NULL.)

The answer, as always, is Don't Do That.  Lots of short-lived
heap-allocated objects isn't good for performance in C.

Things are different with a GC, but not terribly: there are some
allocation patterns that GC's can deal with efficiently (lots of
short-lived objects), and others that are less efficient (e.g. objects
which are unreferenced soon after being promoted to Gen2 in .NET, as
Gen2 isn't collected very often, so the memory will be
occupied-but-useless for quite some time.)

So I'm quite sure you could do an XML-RPC server in Java or Mono or
anything else, but you'll have to design your algorithms to take your
memory allocations into account.  Re-using existing memory buffers might
be better, or always allocating new buffers might be better; it all
depends.  Check your GC documentation for more information.

(For example, Microsoft blogs have suggested that you profile your app
and make sure you spend less than 10% of your CPU time in the GC.  .NET
has performance monitors to measure the CPU time.  If you spend more
than that, you'll see noticeable performance problems.)

As for Mono, it currently uses the Boehm conservative GC.  This means
that there is less overhead for collecting garbage -- memory isn't
compacted, for example, so you don't have to pay the time cost of a
moving collector -- but you also have the heap fragmentation problems of
malloc(3) -- you might have enough memory, but you can't allocate an
object because there isn't enough contiguous free memory.

Oh, you are so nice.

I didn't expected such a comprehensive explanation about GC for my
experience of technique discussion in mailing list.

In the last paragraph,  did you mean that I should reuse buffer or
object as much as possible to get a better performance on MONO?

There only one answer to any performance-related question: profile.

In some circumstances, re-using the buffer may be faster.  In others,
creating a new one is faster.  That could change depending on a number
of factors, not least of which is the GC you're using (and Mono will be
getting a new GC with 2.0).

So the only way to know for sure is to write the app (or a minimal test
app) and profile it to see where time is _actually_ being spent, instead
of just speculating.

Under mono, you can use the --profile option to turn on profiling.  See
the mono(1) man page for more information (search for PROFILING).

I don't know anything about BEA or Jrockit but I do *LOTS* of XML-RPC
calls with Cook Computing's XML-RPC.NET in Mono and I've never noticed
any kind of performance issue.  Of course there is overhead with GC, but
I don't really think it is avoidable;  either the VM is doing GC or you
are.  I think the only way to know for your app is to test;  for me,
even testing on a weenie 1.4GHz Celery laptop I frequently see
call-to-callback times of less than 100ms for small payloads.

Hi Aleksi,

> I'm happy to announce the official beta release of Monotooth.

> I am very open to suggestions, questions, patches, requests and bug
> reports, so please send them :) .

I am very interested in such a cross-platform library. Taking a quick  
look at the repository, is there any chance to simplify the namespace  
and the class structure? (why monotooth.Model.*? maybe Monotooth.*?)

Independent of the underlying implementation it would be more handy  
if you could provide front-end classes like LocalDevice that wrap any  
internal platform decisions, so that e.g. the local device's  
(default) BDADDR can be accessed via LocalDevice.Address (JSR-82  
style) instead of having to go through the full-blown factory pattern  
first - the developer cannot really chose an implementation to use on  
a given platform as in the classic widget factory example.

When no device is attached on Linux a message is written to stdout -  
some Exception should probably be thrown instead. :)

Also, I see on Linux you are handling the inquiry via a native  
library and BlueZ's hci_inquiry function - I have recently found  
their D-Bus interface to be much more powerful (inquiry provides up- 
to-date RSSI), and using dbus-sharp would reduce the need for native  
code in that area. I have some example code I could share.

Finally, would you be interested in extending platform support to Mac  
OS X in future versions?

Regards,

Andreas

Yep;  I work on groupware/collaberation/CRM stuff, and I use bluetooth
devices allot.  I'd love a fairly simple cross-platform way to list
currently active devices and the ability to perform simple tasks like
send-vcard-to-device-x.

I don't know the answer to OCI.  However, I do know
the Oracle provider is NOT thread-safe.

Is the oracle client provider in microsoft .net
framework thread-safe?

If yes, any recommendations on how to make the
provider thread-safe?

Subject: [Mono-list] Problem with compiling on Ubuntu 6.06
Message-ID: <p06240804c2d81543f79e@[10.20.30.106]>

Greetings. I'm trying to compile 1.2.4 from source on Ubuntu 6.06. I 
have added a few of the things needed, but ./configure now stops at:

...
checking for -Wdeclaration-after-statement option to gcc... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glib-2.0' found
Package gthread-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gthread-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gthread-2.0' found
Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glib-2.0' found
Package gthread-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gthread-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gthread-2.0' found
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package 
requirements (glib-2.0 >= 1.3.11) were not met:

No package 'glib-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

The problem is not that I don't have glib-2.0, it's that it is called 
something different on Ubuntu, namely libglib2.0-0.

How do I tell ./configure to look for libglib2.0-0 instead of glib-2.0?

Subject: [Mono-list] What tools help you develop under Linux?
Message-ID: <6938f5390708022227x3d4307d9x51fcf88c490519dc@mail.gmail.com>

I'm currently working with Gtk for the first time and I can't really find
any good tools for documentation.
I want a quick way to check the overloads of a method or view the members of
a class. This is usually
done through the IDE with intellisense but I'd rather work with vim and the
command line if possible.

I've looked at monodoc but my installation doesn't have any information for
Gtk, but I haven't looked
into to much just yet.

What do you guys use when you are trying to get familiar with new libraries?

Thanks

If you haven't already, get the "Mono Developer's Notebook" from O'Reilly.
It includes tutorials for doing Gtk stuff with vim and command line.

This is not about the .deb package, it's about the .pc file - you  
likely don't have the libglib2.0-dev package installed.

Hello,

I am getting a System.NotImplementedException when trying to invoke

recently been implemented and I therefore use the latest mono packages from
2007 07 06. The method works fine if I call it directly. I get the exception
only when trying to invoke the method through Web Service.

Here is the code of the method:

I don't know how exactly mod mono works, but I'm guessing it's using the
compiler installed on my computer no? So I don't understand why I get the
exception, although through direct call it works.

Thanks for your help,

Message-ID: <000201c7d505$00e3f280$091f10ac@FERRARI>

Hi All,

NUnit 2.4.2 is available at http://nunit.com/?p=download

I've had some trouble with running it on 1.2.4 so I've been sticking with
1.2.2 as my base for the 2.4 series of releases. I'd like to put some effort
into reducing/eliminating the tests we skip on Mono and making it run better
- suggestions from folks using it under mono would help a lot.

>From the Announcement:

NUnit 2.4.2 fixes a number of outstanding bugs and adds a number of new
features. Culture and SetCulture attributes are available for use in testing
under multiple cultures. A number of enhancements have been made to the new
constraint-based Assert syntax.

The NUnit Gui has several significant improvements, including the saving the
visual state of the tree for each project and restoring it when it has been
reopened.

See the release notes at http://nunit.com/?p=releaseNotes&r=2.4.2 for more
info.

Mod_mono is using the runtime it was compiled for, usually
/usr/bin/mono, /usr/bin/mcs, etc. I guess you have 2 mono
versions installed, one of them no being up-to-date.

Insert this into your apache config right after
LoadModule mono_module modules/mod_mono.so:

MonoServerPath /path/to/mod-mono-server

or

MonoServerPath /path/to/mod-mono-server2

for .NET 2.0

I'm basically not against it, but this way of getting the local device 
address would break the design a little. I'll see what can be done :).

Yes, I'm very aware of the ref keyword and all the others. The problem 
with ref keyword is correctly implementing pointer arithmetics, see 
http://people.csail.mit.edu/albert/bluez-intro/c401.html#bzi-choosing. 
The main point of my current work is to try to avoid the use of my 
custom library. If I get the hci_inquiry function to work via Marshaling 
, then I will definitely add it to code, but now it is very difficult.

The problem with System.Net.Sockets.Socket (and calling the 
socket()/bind()/connect() from BSD socket interface) is that they use 
special casts to create the connection. The socket() part is not a 
problem, I can use constants as you said. The problem is 
bind()/connect() part of the connections: for example, connect(socket, 
(struct sockaddr*)address, length). The cast is the problem, since I 
have tried it already via creating my own structure in Mono and passing 
it as a parameter to bind(). It failed miserably, since the Marshaling 
failed to cast it to a form that bind() could understand.

The extensions will not be a problem, so feel free to create your code 
and publish it. I will integrate it to Monotooth quite surely, since the 
aim of my library is to be as cross-platform as possible. In case 
someone else is interested too, just try stick to the abstract factory 
pattern, implement it the OS X way and submit a patch to me.

I was thinking of a wrapper along these lines:

public class LocalDevice {
	public static ILocalDevice Default {
		return Factory.Create().GetDevice(); // you'll know better
	}
}

leading to an invocating like LocalDevice.Default.Address, hiding the  
underlying complexity.
This way it allows the use of multiple devices and leaves the factory  
pattern untouched; an alternative or addition would be the adapter  
pattern but that'll be much more complicated.

I know how to inquire with BlueZ. ;-) Yet I don't see where the  
pointer arithmetic problem is in that piece of example code. If you  
want to use HCI you can use Marshal.AllocHGlobal with Marshal.SizeOf  
to calculate the size and offsets?

See attached for an alternative way to inquire, which can avoid  
waiting 10 seconds for the first results using events and can supply  
the RSSI.

Sockets are a C API so casts are unlikely to be the problem (it's a  
pointer to a struct either way and is used because C does not have  
the concept of inheritance). More likely is that the managed  
structure used for marshalling was incorrect. I'll look into it.  
Having it managed would be beneficial for using the code in a daemon.

Message-ID: <befee6d80708030505h72b743d2se181e495020fac42@mail.gmail.com>

For me, as I am used to MS Visual Studio 2005,  I always write,
compile and test my code on Windows and then copy the assemblies to
Linux and run it with MONO ****.exe.

And that enables me to write code in language other than C#.  For
example I use C++/CLI to write assembly that contains data structures
shared by .NET program and C program.

What's your opinion?

You are correct on this, the latest svn now has that piece of code and 
the next release will include documentation on this class.

Thanks for this alternative way, I'll take a look on how to integrate 
this to my code as soon as possible. Although this would create 
dependencies to another library, this approach is by far much more 
handier :), thanks for sharing this.

Good, thanks.

PS. I have created a mailing list in sourceforge for monotooth, the 
mailing list will open in 6-24 hours and its address is:

monotooth-devel at lists.sourceforge.net

So this mailing list should be the primary list so that we won't mess up 
the mono-list :).

I have the book and it does show how to do things, but I'd like to be able
to do things
outside of what the book discusses and to do that I need documentation on
the
libraries I'm using.   mod (console version of monodoc) looks like what I
need
but it doesn't have any information on Gtk in it.

Find a local, well-reputed lawyer specializing in intellectual property.

The person who asked you cannot get what is called "legal advice" from
a canned response -- or a non-lawyer -- and very few lawyers will give
legal advice for free or over email.  It has to be given to address
the particular question or situation.

In practice, the ultimate authority is the court hearing a lawsuit,
and I don't think there have been any lawsuits *or* rulings on Mono
and patents, on the Microsoft-Novell agreement, or on closely related
topics.

Ok, short of a lawyer or anyone pretending to be online, is there information about MS's position on mono?

I think what is really needed, is just some information indicating any company developing using mono won't be sued by MS. 

Personally, not being a lawyer either, I don't think that is likely because of the apparent efforts of the mono developers to avoid MS code or influences. It appears, mono is just an implementation of a public spec(s).

Hello,

Is it possible for mcs to compile C# code to ILAsm code? I've been
hunting all over for a command line switch to do this. :-)

I was under the impression that all the compilers for the common
language runtime used ILAsm as a back-end; does Mono's compiler do
this differently (and therefore have no way of producing ILAsm code)?

Run monodis or another .NET disassembler on the generated
assembly.

Mainstream compilers targeting the CLR never used ilasm as their
last step. They are either using System.Reflection.Emit (mcs,
every other managed compiler) or an equivalent unmanaged API (csc).

Hi,

   Perhaps this is an already discussed question. If so, kindly forgive me.
I would like to know whether there is any tool which can read a MonoDevelop
project file(.mdp) and generate a Makefile. I know this is implemented in
MonoDevelop version 0.15, but since there are some issues with installing
it, I thought it would be helpful to know if there is any other alternative
method.

   SqliteDataAdapter primDa = new SqliteDataAdapter(primSelectCmd);
   SqliteCommandBuilder primCb = new SqliteCommandBuilder(primDa);

Which produces the following error on compile:

Is it just that SqliteCommandBuilder isn't implemented in mono 1.2.4?
or is there something else going on here?

Any help would be appreciated,

Subject: [Mono-list] vb webservices on mono
Message-ID: <46B8AE0A.1000509@ipp.pt>

Hello,
Im trying to configure my centos machine to run webservices.
Im using the mono repo from www.*mono*-project.com, for rhel-4.
My operating system is CENTOS 4.
After configuring every thing, it all seemed to work fine with a simple 
webservice for testing purposes.

For that, a friend of mine created a vb webservice on a windows machine 
and I copied the all resulting files(asmx, dll, etc).
When I access the webservice via GET, every thing works just fine 
(including when doing http://1.1.1.1/web.asmx).
But when I do a POST, the mod-mono-server2.exe goes away :(

Does anyone can  help me to debug the problem?

One problem I'm having with updating to mono 1.2.4 using Wade's packages is
a version conflict with gnome-vfs.. I thought I could remove it and install
from that repo, but apparently that is a core package and remove my gnome
desktop.

Any suggestions? Should I just force the upgrade to 1.2.4?

Subject: [Mono-list] Trying to set up hosting on mono
Message-ID: <637291186581779@webmail18.yandex.ru>

Hello!

We are trying to organize mass hosting for ASP.Net on Mono (apache + mod_mono). We use FreeBSD with Apache 2.0 and latest Mono 1.2, compiled from sources.
And we've got some difficulties:
1. After several days of normal work, mod_mono unexpectedly become unavailable. We even have to use "kill" command to kill all mono and apache processes to restart it. May be it depends on amount of simulatelously http connections, because it seems like mono didn't use whole available free memory.
Here are some info from apache logs:
