That should not segfault as the errors seemed to be
problems with resolving the symbols in the .dlls 
(which in itself is strange).

Is this 10 MB available for pnet ?. I just ran a 
simple Winforms app (ie the FormsHello app) and 
a few clicks later it was taking up around 2 MB in
raw heap peaking around 2112k with libgc enabled.

I think the on-demand loading of tokens has removed
the necessity for loading the entire 1.7 MB 
mscorlib.dll directly :). 

So essentially you shouldn't be running out of memory
too much :)
