 We would have to make the runtime give some sort of useful error
 message. For now, we could change the assert method to say "is this a
 module you are trying to load as an assembly?" or something. Idealy,
 we want to change loading errors into exceptions that mcs could then
 transform into the proper error message. However, that is a much
 larger task.

+On Windows on 1.1.4 (there doesn't seem to be a 1.1.6 for Windows) 
+it doesn't crash now, it just prints this exception trace:
+
