[Mono-aspnet-list] Upgrade MySqlConnector .Net version 6.3.7+ crashes Mono 2.10.2 with: The assembly name is invalid.

[Tim Nelson]

I have an ASP.Net site working well with MySql Connector.Net
(MySql.Data.dll version 6.3.6).  However, because of a bug in the
version I need to move to 6.3.7 (or 6.4.4).

However, when I install the new DLL, mono is crashing with:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: The assembly name is invalid.

The compile line looks fine:
