+Summary: System.MonoType:GetEvents() throws a NullReferenceException
 
 The gtk# building is currently dying when the compiler tries to call
 System.Monotype:GetEvents() because it isn't implemented yet.

+Err, the problem isn't that it isn't implemented, it's that the add
+and remove elements in the MonoEvent structure are NULL and the
+runtime is crashing because it's dereferencing it.
+
+With my limited knowledge, I've tracked it down to the bsearch in
+mono_metadata_methods_from_event() failing on what appears to be the
+last event in the list.  The bsearch() isn't finding an element, in
+that loc->idx never matches col.  I'm in over my head here, as I don't
+know how any of the metadata stuff works yet.  If you need any more
+information from me, let me know.
