+Summary: GC does not see objs put into an array as dead till array's method is out of scope
+
+Description of Problem:
+We do not apply the same rules for reachability to arrays as we do to
+objects that are by themselves. MS does not exhibit this behavior.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+using System;
+
+class foo {
+	static int count = 0;
+	~foo () {
+		count++;
+	}
+	
+	
+	static void Main ()
+	{
+		blah ();
+		
+		GC.Collect ();
+		GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers ();
+		
+		Console.WriteLine (count);
+	}
+	
+	static void blah ()
+	{
+		object bar = new foo ();
+		foo [] foofoo = new foo [10];
+	
+		for (int i = 0; i < foofoo.Length; i++)
+			foofoo [i] = new foo ();
+		
+		foofoo = null;
+		bar = null;	
+		
+		GC.Collect ();
+		GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers ();
+		Console.WriteLine (count);
+	}
+}
+
+
+Actual Results:
+1

+Expected Results:
