+Summary: DirectoryInfo.Parent throws ArgumentNullException when no parent
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+When a DirectoryInfo has no parent and you call the DirectoryInfo.Parent
+property a System.ArgumentNullException is thrown.
+
+A test program can be found here: http://www.tgpr.org/Test.cs
+
+I ran this test on MS .NET and it worked as expected. The result of the
+program should list the directories in reverse (from root to current) from
+the current directory.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a DirectoryInfo object with a root directory
+2. Call the Parent property of that object
+3. Prepare for a System.ArgumentNullException
+
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentNullException: Argument cannot be null
+in <0x00030> 00 System.IO.FileSystemInfo:CheckPath (string)
+in <0x00066> 08 System.IO.FileSystemInfo:CheckPath (string)
+in <0x0001f> 00 System.IO.DirectoryInfo:.ctor (string)
+in <0x00031> 00 System.IO.DirectoryInfo:get_Parent ()
+in <0x00057> 08 System.IO.DirectoryInfo:get_Parent ()
+
+
+Expected Results:
+
+DirectoryInfo.Parent should return null
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+always
