+Summary: Can't pass arguments to a new process (Process.StartInfo.Arguments)
+
+Description of Problem:
+The arguments to a process are ignored when running the process.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile code below.
+2. Run code on a Linux machine.
+
+Code:
+----
+using System;
+using System.Diagnostics;
+ 
+public class Test
+{
+        public static void Main()
+        {
+                Process p = new Process();
+ 
+                p.StartInfo.FileName = "/bin/echo";
+                p.StartInfo.Arguments = "Hello, world.";
+                p.Start();
+                p.WaitForExit();
+        }
+}
+----
+
+Actual Results:
+A blank line is printed.
+
+Expected Results:
+Should see "Hello, world.".
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+This code works with mono 0.30.2 and does not work with mono 0.31 (using
+mono or mint).
+
+If you substitute something like /usr/bin/man for /bin/echo, you can see
+that the program is executed, but with no arguments (i.e. it will print an
+error message "What manual page do you want?").
+
+There's nothing particular about "Hello, world.": using "Hello" with no
+space and no comma causes the same problem.
