+Summary: system_assembly gets NULL when System.dll is loaded by reflection LoadFrom
+
+Description of Problem: 
+When running  
+ 
+  public class MainClass 
+  { 
+    public static void Main () 
+    { 
+      System.Reflection.Assembly a = System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadFrom 
+("file:///usr/lib/mono/1.0/System.dll"); 
+      Npgsql.NpgsqlConnection connection = new 
+         Npgsql.NpgsqlConnection ("Server=localhost;Database=test;User 
+ID=postgres;Password=sql;"); 
+      connection.Open (); 
+    } 
+  } 
+ 
+ 
+Steps to reproduce the problem: 
+1. compile above code with mcs t.cs -r Npgsql 
+2. run it with mono t.exe 
+ 
+Actual Results: 
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not 
+set to an instance of an object 
+in (unmanaged) (wrapper managed-to-native) 
+System.Net.Dns:GetHostByName_internal 
+(string,string&,string[]&,string[]&) 
+in <0x00004> (wrapper managed-to-native) 
+System.Net.Dns:GetHostByName_internal 
+(string,string&,string[]&,string[]&) 
+in <0x0005a> System.Net.Dns:GetHostByName (string) 
+in <0x00032> System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient:Connect (string,int) 
+in <0x00026> System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient:.ctor (string,int) 
+in <0x00073> Npgsql.NpgsqlClosedState:Open (Npgsql.NpgsqlConnection) 
+in <0x00319> Npgsql.NpgsqlConnection:Open () 
+ 
+Expected Results: 
+<blank> 
+ 
+How often does this happen?  
+Always (the bug related to this is occuring since beta1, but it's 
+possible that it was the first time when we tried this kind of code) 
+ 
+Additional Information: 
+I get null reference exception occuring inside mono runtime. My earlier 
+investigations show that during execution of 
+GetHostByName_internal/../get_family_hint (socket-io.c:557) variable 
+'system_assembly' of mono runtime's C API is NULL.
