+Summary: Loader cant cope with non-array types in memberref_parent_typespec
+
+The metadata loader does not cope with an interesting case:
+
+MEMBERREF_PARENT_TYPESPEC:
+     If the type spec signature pointed to is not an array, the code
+     crashes.
+
+I found an instance of this in the Oberon compiler, you can get a 
+binary of the Oberon compiler here:
+
+http://www.superin.formativ.net/mono/oberon/oberonmono.zip
+
+It is a .NET self-hosting compiler written in Oberon (5k lines of code,
+really nice).  And the image generated by the compiler passes peverify.
