+Summary: ModuleBuilder.GetType("String[]") returns a type from the currently loaded corlib
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+When compiling the corlib using mcs, ModuleBuilder.GetType ("string[]")
+returns a Type object from the currently loaded corlib instead of returning
+one from the corlib being built. 
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Setup a debug message in mcs/typemanager.cs :
+TypeManager.LookupTypeReflection to print out of the location of the type
+(t.Assembly.Location) after ModuleBuilder.GetType returns it.
+
+2. Compile corlib with mcs
+
+Actual Results:
+
+You should see that the output from the debug statement contains something
+like "/export/tmp/ravip/install/lib/corlib.dll" (the installed/loaded corlib) 
+
+Expected Results:
+
+Blank or "" 
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always
