+Summary: Directory.CreateDirectory fails when the directory already exists
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+System.IO.Directory.CreatDirectory fails when the directory that you 
+specified already exists.  On the .NET Framework runtime this does not 
+cause an exception, it is considered successfull.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. (On Windows) Create a directory "C:\TEST"
+2. Execute the following code :
+
+System.IO.Directory.CreatDirectory("C:/TEST"); // I use a forward slash, 
+because Mono throw another exception when I use a backslash, bug filed for 
+this)
+
+Actual Results:
+
+You get the following exception :
+
+System.IO.IOException: Win32 IO returned ERROR_ALREADY_EXISTS
+in <0x00042> 00 System.IO.Directory:RealCreateDirectory (string)
+in <0x0024c> 00 System.IO.Directory:CreateDirectory (string)
+in <0x000e9> 00 log4net.Appender.FileAppender:OpenFile (string,bool)
+in <0x00050> 00 log4net.Appender.FileAppender:ActivateOptions ()
+
+Expected Results:
+
+The CreateDirectory should be considered successfull, when the directory 
+that you wanted to create already exists.
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always
