+Summary: same assembly cant be loaded twice
+
+I am trying to load an assembly twice. This may 
+seem silly at first sight, but the circumstances
+I'm doing it in are allowed and work perfectly in
+the Microsoft .NET runtime.
+
+What I'm doing is loading 2 assemblies, each a 
+different file, with the same Assembly name, into
+2 different AppDomains. The AppDomain is supposed
+to be a boundary between Assembly loads. Mono does
+not seem to treat the AppDomain that way, and thus
+I'm finding it impossible to use Mono as an
+application server that can load multiple versions
+of the same application.
+ 
+In mono_assembly_load_from() in assembly.c, the 
+follow comment exists:
+
+/* avoid loading the same assembly twice for now... */
+if ((ass2 = search_loaded (&ass->aname))) {
+...
+return ass2;
+}
+
+The problem here is that search_loaded() checks a 
+global static GList* called loaded_assemblies to
+see if the Assembly is loaded already, and if so,
+it doesn't reload it.  This shouldn't be checked
+globally, but should be checked within the context
+of an AppDomain.
+
+Bug #65903 is similar, but had additional stuff 
+that was fixed already. It also contains code on
+how to reproduce this.
