+I am moving this bug from Mono/MCS to Mono/Runtime.
+
+Reflection.Emit does not allow MCS to do certain things (in
+particular, generate the signature for a class so that it can inherit
+from a parent class an interface implementation).
+
+Since this is not possible, MCS generates a private explicit interface
+implementation for the method (see the attached posting from Mike) and
+just "calls" into its parent implementation to fullfil the request.
+
+This works with the Windows runtime, but fails with mono/mint.
