+Summary: activator.createinstance bug
+
+Description of Problem:
+     Activator.CreateInstance returns NullReferenceException when using a 
+     Args array with null items.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Build the following source using "mcs test.cs" (rename it if you want, 
+but then you should also modify the source!):
+--- begin source snippet ---
+using System;
+
+namespace Test
+{
+	class ConsoleDrv
+	{
+		public ConsoleDrv(object Temp)
+		{
+		}
+		static void Main()
+		{
+			Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType
+("Test.ConsoleDrv, Test"), new object[] {null});
+		}
+	}
+}
+--- end source snippet ---
+2. Run it :-)
+
+Actual Results:
+    NullReferenceException at Activator.CreateInstance(Type, object[], 
+    object[]) at 
+        for (int i = 0; i < length; ++i) {
+            atypes [i] = args [i].GetType (); // this line throws exception
+        }
+
+Expected Results:
+app writes nothing to console
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
