+Summary: Marshalling broken 
+
+The automatic marshalling of strings to P/invoked code is broken in the CVS
+runtime.
+
+instead of     
+
+static extern IntPtr gettext (String instring);
+
+i have to do 
+
+static extern IntPtr gettext (IntPtr instring);
+
+and hand-marshal the instring using StringToHGLobalAuto, in order for the
+underlying string to be marshalled properly.
+
+I'll attach two example classes: one that doesn't work but should, and one
+that's the workaround.
