+Summary: Namespace of nested types is incorrect
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+The namespace available through System.Type.Namespace is incorrect for
+nested types -- it is the empty string "" instead of the namespace of its
+parent type.
+
+Consider the following program:
+
+        using System;
+
+        namespace Test {
+          public class Outer {
+            public class Inner {
+            }
+          }
+        }
+
+        public class R {
+          public static void Main () {
+            Namespace (typeof (Test.Outer));
+            Namespace (typeof (Test.Outer.Inner));
+          }
+
+          public static void Namespace (Type t) {
+            Console.WriteLine ("Namespace of {0}={1}", t.FullName,
+              t.Namespace);
+          }
+        }
+
+When executed under Mono, I get the output:
+
+        Namespace of Test.Outer=Test
+        Namespace of Test.Outer+Inner=
+
+When executed under .NET, I get:
+
+        Namespace of Test.Outer=Test
+        Namespace of Test.Outer+Inner=Test
+
+Notice that under .NET, the namespace of the inner type is the same as that
+of its containing type.
