Re: Differences between generic names in the documentation.

Mike: Didn't GtkHtml# always bind gtkhtml-3.0?  Or did it bind 2.x at
some point in time?

As far as I'm aware, Gtkhtml# has *always* bound the 3.x API, not the
2.x API.  In fact, 3.x and 2.x are NOT compatible (compare the output of
`nm -D libgtkhtml-2.so` to `nm -D libgtkhtml-3.14.so` and grep for "T",
which lists methods found within those libraries).

So I'm not sure how you could possibly be using Gtkhtml 2.0 with
Monodoc.

This has nothing to do with it, as seen by comment #2 which is a C
sample that reproduces the crash.

The actual patch you refer to allowed monodoc to *use* Gecko; it's the
actual use of Gecko which causes the crash.
