+Summary: assembly name clash prevents Assembly.GetType() from working
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Mono fails to properly load types using GetType() method called on
+assembly, when assembly has the same name (and version?) as calling exacutable.
+
+First, we will compile two files, so they have the same name (foo):
+
+[malekith@roke /shm]$ mcs /target:library /out:foo.dll foo2.cs
+Compilation succeeded
+[malekith@roke /shm]$ mcs /target:exe /out:foo.exe foo1.cs
+Compilation succeeded
+[malekith@roke /shm]$ ./foo.exe
+failed T load
+[malekith@roke /shm]$ 
+
+Now we recompile the library under different name, and rename the file:
+
+[malekith@roke /shm]$ mcs /target:library /out:foo_diff_name.dll foo2.cs
+Compilation succeeded
+[malekith@roke /shm]$ mv foo_diff_name.dll foo.dll
+[malekith@roke /shm]$ ./foo.exe
+[malekith@roke /shm]$
+
+And now everything is ok.
+
+foo1.cs:
+#v+
+using System.Reflection;
+
+class M {
+public static void Main ()
+{
+Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFrom ("foo.dll");
+if (a.GetType ("T") == null) System.Console.WriteLine ("failed T load");
+}
+}
+#v-
+
+foo2.cs:
+#v+
+class T { }
+#v-
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
