                                 Hi,
  
  The default marshalling behavior is to free strings returned by the
unmanaged function after they have been converted to a managed string. The
.NET runtime somehow detects that the returned string points to static data and
does not free it, but the mono runtime does. Thats why this works under MS.NET
but not under mono.
