Well, "yum info mono-core" returned that the latest version is 1.1.3 and 
the installed version is 1.0.4, but "yum update mono-core" returned that 
"mono-core" is already the latest version.  The yum repository is 
http://go-mono.com/archive/1.1.3.  I suppose I could always just 
uninstall and reinstall Mono alltogether. :-P
