Tests on mono 4.6.0 fails when an exception is thrown inside .net

[webarchymeta]

It's known that mono 4.4.x had problems (see #446).

However it is claimed that mono 4.6.0 should have resolved the issue. But when I tested on a ubuntu 14.04 docker image and on a virtual ubuntu 16.04 box having mono 4.6.0 installed, both failed the tests contained in edge:
In ubuntu 16.0.4, one get

Stack overflow: IP: 0x7ff3b0d181de, fault addr: 0x7ffe38420f7c
Stacktrace:
  at <unknown> <0xffffffff>
  at System.Exception.get_IsTransient () <0x00013>
  <...>
  at (wrapper runtime-invoke) <Module>.runtime_invoke_bool__this__ (object,intptr,intptr,intptr) <0x00069>

and in ubuntu 14.04 one get

  at System.Exception.get_StackTrace () <0x00013>
  at (wrapper runtime-invoke) <Module>.runtime_invoke_object__this__ (object,intptr,intptr,intptr) <0x00069>

whenever a fail condition that's related to an exception to be thrown inside .net is tested.

Could this be a problem inside edge or inside mono itself?

+1 I too am seeing this error, and cannot diagnose where its coming from.

Same Problem Here:

Stack overflow: IP: 0x7fe9a63121de, fault addr: 0x7ffcd5e2cf1c
Stacktrace:

  <...>
  at (wrapper runtime-invoke) <Module>.runtime_invoke_bool__this__ (object,intptr,intptr,intptr) <0x00069>

Code Executed:

var edge = require('edge');

var helloWorld = edge.func(function () {/*
    async (input) => {
        throw new Exception("incorrect connection string");
        return ".NET Welcomes " + input.ToString();
    }
*/});

helloWorld('JavaScript', function (error, result) {
    if (error) throw error;
    console.log(result);
});
