+Summary: Custom trace listener requires ctor not required by Microsoft runtime
+
+Microsoft runtime only requires a single constructor for custom trace 
+listener classes:
+
+ctor(string name)
+
+If the add element in the config file specifies initializeData, it is 
+passed as name.  I understand this is kind of strange but I have verified 
+this behavior on both .NET 1.0 and .NET 1.1.
+
+Mono, on the other hand, calls a different constructor if the 
+initializeData element is present in the Add configuration element:
+
+ctor(string initializeData, string name)
+
+I can work around this quite easily by adding the extra constructor but 
+neither Microsoft's documentation nor its implementation works this way.
