+Summary: Wrong exception when allocating an array of a negative (or unsigned) size
+
+Description of Problem:
+Mono throws a OutOfMemoryException where the MS runtime throws a
+OverflowException.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile the following source
+
+using System;
+
+class UnsignedSizedArray {
+
+	static void Main () 
+	{
+		try {
+			Console.WriteLine ("new byte [Int32.MaxValue + 1]");
+			byte[] mem = new byte [0x80000000];
+		}
+		catch (OverflowException e) {
+			Console.WriteLine ("Overflow");
+		}
+		catch (OutOfMemoryException) {
+			Console.WriteLine ("OutOfMemory");
+		}
+		catch (Exception e) {
+			Console.WriteLine ("Oops ? {0}", e.ToString ());
+		}
+
+	}
+}
+
+2. Execute it
+
+
+Actual Results (mono runtime):
+new byte [Int32.MaxValue + 1]
+GC Warning: Out of Memory!  Returning NIL!
+OutOfMemory
+
+
+Expected Results (ms runtime):
+new byte [Int32.MaxValue + 1]
+Overflow
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+
+Additional Information:
+Throwing the OverflowException from the runtime could have the same effect
+as detailled in http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=59509
