+
+Description of Problem: Resulting substring is incorrect in comparison to 
+MS .NET Runtime.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+string expr = "folder/*.xml";
+string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(expr);
+string pattern = expr;
+if ( expr.Length > path.Length )
+  pattern = expr.Substring(path.Length + 1);
+Console.WriteLine("path = {0}, pattern = {1}", path, pattern);
+
+Actual Results:
+path = folder/, pattern = .xml
+
+Expected Results:
+path = folder, pattern = *.xml
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Everytime with mono
