+Summary: Serialization - Unsupported primitive type: System.IntPtr
+
+Description of Problem:
+System.IntPtr is no more supported when serializing an object. This was
+working last time I checked. A unit test for WindowsIdentity started
+failing because of this.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile this
+
+using System;
+using System.IO;
+using System.Runtime.Serialization;
+using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary;
+
+[Serializable]
+public class IntPtrBug {
+	private IntPtr _buggyboo;
+}
+
+public class Program {
+
+	static public int Main (string[] args)
+	{
+		IntPtrBug bug1 = new IntPtrBug ();
+		MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream ();
+		IFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter ();
+		formatter.Serialize (ms, bug1);
+		ms.Position = 0;
+		IntPtrBug bug2 = (IntPtrBug) formatter.Deserialize (ms);
+		return 0;
+	}
+}
+
+2. Execute with Mono runtime (HEAD)
+
+mono bug.exe
+
+3. Execute with MS runtime (tried 1.1)
+
+mono bug.exe
+
+
+Actual Results (mono):
+Unhandled Exception: System.NotSupportedException: Unsupported primitive
+type: System.IntPtr

+in <0x00015>
+System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter:Serialize
+(System.IO.Stream,object)
+in <0x0007c> Program:Main (string[])
+
+
+Expected Results (MS runtime):
+no output
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+
+Additional Information:
+* ObjectWriter doesn't have the code to process IntPtr.
+* I didn't try if this affected Mono 1.0.x
