+Summary: al.exe and satellite assemblies
+
+Description of Problem:
+al.exe crashes when trying to generate satellite assemblies.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a simple .resx like this:
+
+   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
+
+   <root>
+     <data name="String_MyText">
+       <value>My Text.</value>
+     </data>
+     <resheader name="ResMimeType">
+       <value>text/microsoft-resx</value>
+     </resheader>
+     <resheader name="Version">
+       <value>1.0</value>
+     </resheader>
+     <resheader name="Reader">
+       <value>System.Resources.ResXResourceReader</value>
+     </resheader>
+     <resheader name="Writer">
+       <value>System.Resources.ResXResourceWriter</value>
+     </resheader>
+   </root>
+
+2. Compile it with resgen:
+
+   resgen myApp.en-US.resx
+
+3. Try to generate a satellite assembly:
+
+   al /t:lib /embed:myApp.en-US.resources /c:en-US /out:myApp.resources.dll
+
+
+Actual Results:
+al.exe always crashes and produces the following error message:
+ 
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: A null value was
+found where an object instance was required
+in <0x00508> Mono.AssemblyLinker.AssemblyLinker:DoIt ()
+in <0x00020> Mono.AssemblyLinker.AssemblyLinker:DynMain (string[])
+in <0x0002d> Mono.AssemblyLinker.AssemblyLinker:Main (string[])
+
+
+Expected Results:
+al.exe should generate the satellite assembly.
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
