 Summary: AppDomain.BaseDirectory misses trailing directoryseparator on linux
 
 On Windows (with both .NET and Mono), AppDomain.BaseDirectory returns the 
 application base directory with a trailing backslash. 
 
 However, on Linux the AppDomain.BaseDirectory returns the application base

+Gonzalo, apparently the fix for this issue was removed by yourself as 
+part of revision 1.12 of AppDomainSetup.cs with the following 
+comment :
+
+ AppDomainSetup.cs: Don't add an extra '/' at the end of
+	ApplicationBase. The tests pass now with mono.
+
+However, not adding the extra '/' at the end of ApplicationBase makes 
+the Mono implementation incompatible with .NET.
+
+Can you explain why you had to remove the extra '/' at the end ?

+Someone provided a test case that lead me to do that.
+If something is wrong (mmm, may be for '/'...) could you provide a
+test case?

+I looked further into the AppDomain.BaseDirectory issue, with regards 
+to the ending DriecftorySeparatorChar, and I've come to the following 
+findings :
+
+- .NET never alters the path you pass into the AppDomain (by setting
+AppDomainSetup.ApplicationBase), unless its a URI ofcourse ... so it
+definitely does not add a DirectorySeparatorChar to the path.  Which 
+means the current behaviour of Mono is correct.
+
+- when no explicit base directory is set for a newly created 
+AppDomain, the base directory of the "root" AppDomain will be used -> 
+note : I'm not 100% sure about this
+
+- the .NET runtime does add a DirectorySeparatorChar to the end of the
+BaseDirectory (and AppDomainSetup.ApplicationBase) for domains 
+constructed by the runtime itself.  eg. when you launch a console 
+app, winform app or web app, the appdomains for these apps will have 
+a trailing DirectorySeparatorChar.  This should be fixed in Mono.
+
+I attached a simple unit tests for AppDomain (tests 2 and 4 fail on 
+Mono right now), and an even simpler test app that demonstrates the 
+fact the .NET adds a DirectorySeparatorChar to the end of the 
+BaseDirectory for appdomains that are created by the runtime itself, 
+as I don't know how to test this as part of a unit test ...
