Does this happen with your new Qt#, or the original Qt# 0.6?  Or both?

ilrun always runs in unsafe mode at present (CAS security is not done yet). 
The problem is probably a bug in the verifier that trips up on something 
mcs/csc outputs.  If you could supply me with a simple test case that 
demonstrates the problem, it should be easily fixable.

This is probably a case of something being mis-marshalled, causing the system 
to go off into la la land within libqt.so.  Or it is looping recursively, and 
it takes 10 seconds to fill up the entire system's stack before crashing. 
Once again, I'll need a test case to track this down.
