i am assuming you are using the built in gdb debugger.

a) you can try using this addin Gdb.D instead 
-https://github.com/llucenic/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Gdb.D
it might be also be in the monodevelop beta repos.

b) you can "fix"/work around the issue by replacing 
"Syscall.kill" in the source 
(https://github.com/mono/monodevelop/blob/master/main/src/addins/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Gdb/GdbSession.cs)
with "proc.Kill()"
similarly as what was done in the Gdb.D source 
(https://github.com/llucenic/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Gdb.D/blob/master/Gdb/GdbSession.cs)
then recompile and use.
