+Summary: peverify error for mcs generated assembly
+
+When running .NET 2.0's peverify on an assembly built using mcs (for the 
+code below), the following verify error is reported :
+
+===[VERERR]  AREA='Global_type'    [offset 0x00000000]  [opcode nop]  
+[MESSAGE:'zero-size function is not valid']
+
+To reproduce this, compile the following code using mcs (I used mcs built 
+from cvs head):
+
+using System;
+using System.Reflection;
+
+namespace NAnt.Console {
+  public class ConsoleStub {
+    public static int Main(string[] args) {
+      try {
+        System.Console.WriteLine("A");
+      } catch (Exception e) {
+        System.Console.WriteLine("B");
+      } finally {
+        System.Console.WriteLine("C");
+      }
+
+      return 1;
+    }
+
+    private static readonly Type type = System.Reflection.MethodBase.
+      GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType;
+  }
+}
+
+Next, use peverify from MS.NET 2.0 on the generated exe and you'll get 
+the result mentioned above.
+
+Apparently the assembly that is built by mcs cannot even be disassembled 
+completely using the MS.NET 2.0 ildasm.
+
+I'm not sure if this a regression in MS.NET 2.0, or a bug in Mono which 
+is only detected in MS.NET 2.0.
