+Summary: string.ctor with encoding obj
+unimplemented
+
+Description of Problem:   
+First, let me apologize.  I'm very new to Linux and Mono, but here is the   
+problem I'm seeing, as best as I can describe it:   
+I have an assembly (built using .NET on windows), which I reference in a   
+GTK# project running on Mono/Linux.  During the execution of a method in   
+that assembly, I try to create a new string in an unsafe block using an   
+sbyte*.   
+The offending code is probably the code I've pasted below.  (I say  
+probably, because I am still not   
+sure how to use the debugger - again I apologize for not providing more  
+info) This code snippet is not complete, but should give you an idea of  
+what i'm trying to do:  
+        protected override void InitValue()    
+        {    
+            try    
+            {    
+                String s;    
+    
+                s = "";    
+                unsafe    
+                {    
+                    s = "";    
+                    SByte[] s1 =  new SByte[mLength];    
+                    for (int i = 0; i < mLength; i++)    
+                    {    
+                        s1[i] = (sbyte)mBuffer.Data[this.ByteOffset + i];    
+                    }    
+                    fixed (sbyte* s2 = (sbyte*)&s1[0])    
+                    {    
+                        s = new String(s2, 0, mLength,   
+System.Text.Encoding.ASCII);    
+                    }    
+                }    
+                this.Value = s;    
+            }    
+            catch (Exception e)    
+            {    
+                ExceptionHandler.SendErrorMessage(e);    
+                return;    
+            }          
+    
+        }    
+   
+   
+My mono version information is:   
+	mscorlib 1.0.5000   
+   
+   
+Steps to reproduce the problem:   
+1. I do not yet have a test app which will reproduce this, but I can work   
+on building one, if you think this would be beneficial   
+   
+Actual Results:   
+** (<unknown>:6401): WARNING **: string.ctor with encoding obj   
+unimplemented   
+   
+** ERROR **: file string-icalls.c: line 189   
+(ves_icall_System_String_ctor_encoding): should not be reached   
+aborting...   
+   
+Expected Results:   
+ it should create the string   
+   
+   
+   
+How often does this happen?    
+Every Time
