+I noticed that inserting an OutAttribute in front of the parameter 
+for the P/Invoke declaration works around the problem: 
+ 
+private static extern void testfn([Out] RefInt i) 
+ 
+So the mechanism for copying the data back from the temporary copy in 
+unmanaged storage to the managed class is there. It just isn't being 
+used without the OutAttribute.
