+Summary: Any activation of the compiler or the runtime result in a timezone assertion error message
+
+Version field must be Mono 0.28 [bugzilla does not allow typing there] 
+
+Description of Problem:
+Any activation of the compiler or the runtime result in an error message:
+** ERROR **: file icall.c: line
+3145(ves_icall_System_CurrentTimeZone_GetTimeZoneData): assertion failed: (err)
+aborting...
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Download mono-0.28-win32-1.exe from http://www.go-mono.org/download.html
+2. Install on D:\Programs\Mono-0.28
+3. Create helloworld.cs [scroll to bottom for file listing]
+4. My O/S Time Zone is set in Control Panel to "GMT+02:00 Harare,Pretoria"
+4. Start command prompt, type
+mcs helloworld.cs
+
+Actual Results:
+Window pops up with the error message displayed above. 
+The csc program aborts.
+
+Expected Results:
+Expected compiler to produce an exe file
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every time I invoke the compiler with a filename to compile as a parameter. 
+It does not happen when I type 
+mcs -?
+When I type mcs -?, the compiler prints help, as expected.
+
+Additional Information:
+I also have .NET 1.1 installed. I compiled helloworld.cs with the .NET
+compiler, and it runs in .NET. 
+I then tried to run the program I compiled in .NET, using the mono runtime:
+
+(A) type 
+mono helloworld.exe
+     get same error message shown above 
+
+(B) type
+mint helloworld.exe
+     get same error message shown above
+
+Contents of helloworld.cs:
+
+using System;
+class MainClass
+{
+	public static void Main(string[] args)
+	{
+		Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
+	}
+}
