+Summary: Attributes on interface properties are lost
+
+Description of Problem:
+Attributes for interface properties disappear.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+using System;
+using System.Reflection;
+using System.ComponentModel;
+
+public class AttrTest
+{
+	public static void Main()
+	{
+		MemberInfo TestMemberInfo = typeof(ITest).GetMethod("get_TestAttribute");
+
+		DescriptionAttribute DescAttr =
+(DescriptionAttribute)Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(TestMemberInfo,
+typeof(DescriptionAttribute));
+		Console.WriteLine(DescAttr.Description);
+
+	}
+}
+
+public interface ITest
+{
+	string TestAttribute
+	{
+		[Description("This attribute disappears")] get;
+	}
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+NullReferenceException at DescATtr.Description because GetCustomAttribute
+returned null.
+
+Expected Results:
+Under Windows/.NET this displays the string "This attribute disappears".
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+
+This seems to only happen with properties, not methods.
+DescriptionAttribute was only used as an example.  It appears to happen
+with any attribute.
+Running 'strings' on the binary shows that the value is not being stored.
