+The runtime should not only try to locate referenced assemblies in 
+these directory relative to the application base, but also relative 
+to all directories in the private path.
+
+eg. if subdirectory "test" is added to the private path, then the 
+runtime should try to located a referenced assembly in the following 
+directories :
+
+[application base] / [assembly name].dll
+[application base] / [assembly name] / [assembly name].dll
+[application base] / test / [assembly name].dll
+[application base] / test / [assembly name] / [assembly name].dll
+
+So this bug is related to #57612.
+
+Also, I think the .NET runtime tries both a .DLL and .EXE extensions 
+(does this mean that Mono should use .dll, .exe, .DLL and .EXE on 
+linux or is this overkill ?) :
+
+[application base] / [assembly name].dll (.DLL?)
+[application base] / [assembly name].exe (.EXE?)
+[application base] / [assembly name] / [assembly name].dll (.DLL?)
+[application base] / [assembly name] / [assembly name].exe (.EXE?)
+[application base] / test / [assembly name].dll (.DLL?)
+[application base] / test / [assembly name].exe (.EXE?)
+[application base] / test / [assembly name] / [assembly name].dll 
+(.DLL?)
+[application base] / test / [assembly name] / [assembly name].exe 
+(.EXE?)
