Please test on Mono 2.10 and file a bug report.

We never really supported shipping Mono with an app back in the 2.6.x
days, if you managed to get it working, it was likely pure chance.

When people bundle Mono with their apps sometimes they forget to ship
all the files that Mono needs.  Perhaps you are missing the .config
file that maps libraries, and perhaps you are missing initializing the
Mono runtime to look for its libraries in the package-relative
directory instead of the system files.

You will have to debug this on your own, try attaching with GDB and
finding out what happened.
