+Summary: Error initializing a char []
+
+Description of Problem:
+Initializing a static char [] with a value list enclosed in {} fails with
+System.ArgumentException causing the class not to be initialized
+(System.TypeInitializationException is thrown to the caller).
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Use version 1.6 of class/corlib/System/IntegerFormatter.cs in CVS.
+2. Remove the lines that exlude IntegerFormatter from the testing in
+class/corlib/Test/corlib_test.build
+3. Run the tests.
+4. In the output, look for IntegerFormatter. You can see that there's an
+error in the type initialization for IntegerFormatter.
+
+Note: I got 301 errors as of  March 28, 3:00 GMT+1
+
+Additional Information:
+
+Debugging the program i get this:

+098:            private static char[] digitLowerTable =
+(cordbg)
+
+---end partial debugging session
+
+In corlib/System/IntegerFormatter.cs we can see near the beggining of the
+class implementation:
+
+		private static char[] digitLowerTable = 
+       		{ '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', 
+		  '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f' };
+
+		private static char[] digitUpperTable = 
+		{ '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', 
+		  '8', '9', 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F' };
+
+I get the error when assigning value to digitLowerTable.
+I tried using 'new [16]', 'new []' between the '=' and the '{', but it
+still happens.
+
+Workaround:
+
+Finally I made a workaround (which I will commit when I finish this report)
+which uses a static constructor and assign the values for those two arrays
+in a couple of loops.
+
+Using the workaround, the number of failures when running the tests using
+out IntegerFormatter and adding  IntegerFormatterTests is 282 instead of
+301 without it.
