WinForms Application window closes immediately on open in OSX

I've been developing WinForms applications in C# for Windows for years.

Today I tried to port a very simple project of mine over but whenever the application starts the main window opens and immediately closes. I broke it down to just a simple form.

public partial class TestForm : Form
{
     public TestForm()
     {
         InitializeComponent();            
     }
}

with a main like so:

[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Application.Run(new TestForm());
}

Anyway as soon as I run the application the Window flashes open and immediately closes and of course closing the app. I'm using Mono 3.1 and Xamarin Studio 5.5.3. Any thoughts?

Thanks to Alexander's comment the answer to the post: MAC: Mono Helloworld example was what I needed. It is apparently a bug in Mono MDK 3.1.0. Downloading and installing the linked update from dropbox fixed it!

Thanks all!
