Oh ma.

Yes, mono is a very problematic thing, just like java.  Almost anything java-
or mono-related in qemu-user breaks in pieces because of significant usage of
threads on these platforms, while qemu-user lacks correct thread implementation.

Signals are also racy, especially when combined with threads.

The patch you referred to is a gross hack, so I'm untagging "patch", -- it is
something which should not be used really (tho, it is a good question -- 
whenever
to ship working but bad or non-working but bad packages).

So I'm not really sure what to do here.  I for one don't know any (good) 
solution
to this.

Thanks,
