+Summary: Assertion, not exception when array with rank > 255 is created
+
+When an array with a large rank is created, an assertion is thrown and mono
+aborts. MS throws an exception
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+using System;
+
+public class Bug {
+
+	public static int Main () {
+		try {
+			Array a = Array.CreateInstance (typeof (int), new int [1000]);
+			
+			Console.WriteLine ("Exception not thrown!!");
+			return 1;
+		} catch (TypeLoadException) {
+			Console.WriteLine ("PASS!");
+			return 0;
+		}
+		catch (Exception e) {
+			Console.WriteLine ("Wrong Exception");
+			Console.WriteLine (e.ToString ());
+			return 1;
+		}
+	}
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+** ERROR **: file class.c: line 1534 (mono_array_class_get): assertion
+failed: (rank <= 255)
+aborting...
+Aborted
+
+Expected Results:
+PASS
+[return with exit code 0]
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
