+Summary: CreateInstanceAndUnwrap throws System.NullReferenceException
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+The call to System.AppDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap throws the previously
+mentioned exception. It DOES NOT print a stack trace either.
+
+According to the MSDN docs, this is not one of the 4 or 5 exceptions that
+this method could throw.
+
+Background info: 
+
+Mono 0.29
+Redhat 8.0 running 2.4.20
+Assemblies with no stong naming, and residing in the same dir.
+Assembly 1: driver.exe (namespace: namespace1)
+Assembly 2: namespace1.library.dll (namespace: namespace1.library)
+Command line: mono output/Driver.exe default.build
+
+I tried the following:
+
+thePseudoProcessInstances[Counter1] =  //Where This array subscript holds a
+AppDomain successfully created
+(library.PseudoProcessInstance) // Where PseudoProcessInstance is a class
+with a constructtor that takes a string and prints it out (it subclasses
+MarshalByRefObject)
+thePseudoProcess[Counter1].CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(
+"namespace1.library", 
+"namespace1.library.PseudoProcessInstance", 
+false, //Do not Ignore case sensitivity
+System.Reflection.BindingFlags.CreateInstance |
+System.Reflection.BindingFlags.ExactBinding |
+System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Default //I tried 0 (zero) also
+,
+System.Type.DefaultBinder, //tried null also
+Temp, // An Object[1] that holds a string
+System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, //tried null also
+null, 
+System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Evidence //tried null also
+);
+
+
+
+
+Actual Results:
+
+The constructor is successfully called in the corresponding AppDomain, but
+the function returns null and throws the exception
+
+Expected Results:
+
+A NON-NULL namespace1.library.PseudoProcessInstance and no exception thrown
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Repeatedly
