+Summary: Regression: Attribute.GetCustomAttribute no longer returns attributes from base classes
+
+There's a serious regression in Mono (built from cvs) with regards to
+custom attributes.
+
+The Attribute.GetCustomAttribute method no longer returns a custom
+attribute that was assigned to a property of a base class, when invoke on a
+derived class.
+
+For example, when you have the following classes :
+
+       public class DerivedDecoratedClass : DecoratedClass {
+        }
+                                                                          
+                                          
+        public class DecoratedClass {
+                private string _dunno;
+                                                                          
+                                          
+                [TestAttribute("test")]
+                public string Dunno {
+                        get { return _dunno; }
+                        set { _dunno = value; }
+                }
+        }
+
+then 
+
+Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(property, typeof(TestAttribute)) for the Dunno
+property of the DerivedDecoratedClass will return null, while this should not.
+
+This used to work fine in Mono 0.30, and still works as expected in MS.NET.
+
+I'll attach a test case for this issue, which yields the following on Mono
+0.30 and MS.NET :
+
+Checking attribute on 'AttributeIssue.DecoratedClass'.
+Dunno property: Attribute found
+Checking attribute on 'AttributeIssue.DerivedDecoratedClass'.
+Dunno property: Attribute found
+
+but on Mono built from cvs, the result is :
+
+Checking attribute on 'AttributeIssue.DecoratedClass'.
+Dunno property: Attribute found
+Checking attribute on 'AttributeIssue.DerivedDecoratedClass'.
+Dunno property: Attribute not found!
+
+as you can see, Mono does not seem to be able to return the attribute on
+the derived class.
