it's a bug in the generator: we allocate an lref but don't free it. (Argh!)
[Register ("replyTo")]
public Android.OS.Messenger ReplyTo {
get { /* ... */ }
set {
if (replyTo_jfieldId == IntPtr.Zero)
replyTo_jfieldId = JNIEnv.GetFieldID
(class_ref, "replyTo", "Landroid/os/Messenger;");
JNIEnv.SetField (Handle, replyTo_jfieldId,
JNIEnv.ToLocalJniHandle (value));
}
}
JNIEnv.ToLocalJniHandle() allocates a local ref, but it's never freed. Looks
like I forgot to check field generation 4 months ago...
This has been filed as:
https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6531
So there are two "workarounds":
(1) Don't Do that (bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha)
(2) "Somehow" ensure that the thread setting the Messenger.ReplyTo property
eventually "returns to Java." All threads created by Dalvik that enter managed
code should eventually return to Java code, e.g. the Main thread which invokes
Activity.OnCreate(). Once Activity.OnCreate() completes, execution will return
to the Java thread. Upon returning to Java code from non-Java code, the local
reference table is cleared.
Unfortunately this won't do you any good for threads created by Mono
(System.Threading.Thread, ThreadPool, etc.), as they'll never "return" to Java.

Look carefully: the count is _negative_, and decrements from -14 to -15. As I
said, lref counting is rather flaky at the moment...
