+Summary: string compare doesn't match ms implementation
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+String.Compare doesn't work like microsoft implementation
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. 
+compile and run:
+
+using System;
+
+namespace bugs
+{
+	public class orderbug
+	{
+		public static void Main() 
+		{
+			Console.WriteLine("hello");
+			string string1 = "10.1", string2 = "1.1";
+			int test = String.Compare(string1, string2);
+			Console.WriteLine(" the value of test reported by 
+microsoft is 1, you got test = "+test);
+			if (test!=1) 
+			{
+				throw new Exception("value of test is not 
+like MS implementation :(");
+			}
+		}
+		
+	}
+}
+
+2. It should print "test=1"
+3. It doesn't for my newly downloaded copy of mono.
+
+Actual Results:
+
+C:\Program Files\Mono-1.0\lib\test>mcs orderbug.cs
+Compilation succeeded
+
+C:\Program Files\Mono-1.0\lib\test>mono orderbug.exe
+hello
+ the value of test reported by microsoft is 1, you got test = -1
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: value of test is not like MS 
+implementati
+on :(
+in <0x00082> bugs.orderbug:Main ()
+
+
+
+
+Expected Results:
+
+
+C:\Program Files\Mono-1.0\lib\test>orderbug.exe
+hello
+ the value of test reported by microsoft is 1, you got test = 1
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+every time
+
+
+Additional Information:
+
+
+I found this while trying to run the test suite
+in http://bplusdotnet.sourceforge.net and it failed.
+After poking about this seems to be the underlying issue.
