No, don't think so. Under Mono, the code crashes with a NullPointerException
if the assertion fails somewhere inside the assert. A far as I can see, the
problem
is that, by the time my finalizer runs, stdout and stderr have been closed
already
and further calls to assert crash the process.

Cheers,

Michi.
