Why mono GC does not realloc the heap after collect?

[Alex A Ermoshenko]

//Example code
//On the NetFarmewort - all work fine
//On Mono  - ~105MiB in the heap, after GC.Collect(). Expected ~5 MiB
////////////////
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace mono_gc_test
{
        class Program
        {
                static object alloc100MB()
                {
                        byte[] data = new byte[100 * 1024 * 1024];
                        return data;
                }
                static void msg(string text, bool wait)
                {
                        Console.WriteLine(text);
                        if (wait)
                                Console.ReadLine();
                }
                static void Main(string[] args)
                {
                        object data = null;
                        msg("Mono GC.Collect() realloc test.", false);
                        msg("Press ENTER to alloc 100MiB of data", true);
                        data = alloc100MB();
                        msg("Press ENTER to GC.Collect()", true);
                        data = null;
                        GC.Collect();
                        msg("Press ENTER to exit", true);
                }
        }
}

//On Mono  - ~105MiB in the heap, after GC.Collect(). Expected ~5 MiB
////////////////
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace mono_gc_test
{
       class Program
       {
               static object alloc100MB()
               {
                       byte[] data = new byte[100 * 1024 * 1024];
                       return data;
               }
               static void msg(string text, bool wait)
               {
                       Console.WriteLine(text);

               }
               static void Main(string[] args)
               {
                       object data = null;
                       msg("Mono GC.Collect() realloc test.", false);

                       msg(GC.GetTotalMemory(true).ToString(),false);

                       msg("Press ENTER to alloc 100MiB of data", true);
                       data = alloc100MB();

                       msg(GC.GetTotalMemory(true).ToString(),false);

                       msg("Press ENTER to GC.Collect()", true);
                       data = null;
                       GC.Collect();

                       msg(GC.GetTotalMemory(true).ToString(),false);                      
                       GC.Collect(100 * 1024 * 1024,GCCollectionMode.Forced);
