+Summary: Type.GetType() not working for types not already loaded
+
+The following call to Type.GetType() returns null:
+
+using System;
+
+public class MyClass
+{
+	public static void Main()
+	{
+		Console.WriteLine (Type.GetType
+("System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http.HttpChannel,
+System.Runtime.Remoting, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral,
+PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"));
+	}
+}
+
+This works on MS.NET.
+
+Additinal information:
+
+If I add something like
+typeof(System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http.HttpChannel) to the test case,
+Type.GetType() works.
