Question
New to monotouch aka xamarin ios. Trying to get a robust mapkit working that can take a number of pins. Experimenting with a basic example that I've cobbled together from a variety of sources that I could find.
Getting a sporadic SIGSEGV error. Seems like some sort of memory error when the pins are clicked to show an alert box which sometimes works and sometimes doesnt.
I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. Is this along the right lines? Here's the code

=================================================================
Got a SIGSEGV while executing native code. This usually indicates
a fatal error in the mono runtime or one of the native libraries
used by your application.
=================================================================
Solution
Looks like the good old GC Error.
Take a look at the Monotouch-Samples App exactly this Class and Line:
https://github.com/xamarin/monotouch-samples/blob/master/MapCallouts/MainViewController.cs#L108
You need to store all the Pinviews within some Collection, so the Garbage Collection doesn't try to collect them.
OTHER TIPS
What about the 'var testAnnotationX'? You might need to move that as well.
