+Summary: [PATCH] mono not able to handle typeref to a nested class in the same assembly
+
+Attached is a test case and the patch.
+
+ilasm'ing the test-case on .net and trying to run under mono gives:
+
+$ mono n.exe 
+
+** ERROR **: pending init .abc
+
+aborting...
+Aborted
+
+$ monodis n.exe 
+.assembly extern mscorlib
+{
+  .ver 1:0:5000:0
+  .publickeytoken = (B7 7A 5C 56 19 34 E0 89 ) // .z\V.4..
+}
+.assembly 'n'
+{
+  .hash algorithm 0x00008004
+  .ver  0:0:0:0
+}
+.module n.exe // GUID = {BCFB3BB1-33A0-402B-A81D-B0CE2B07417C}
+
+
+  .class public auto ansi beforefieldinit abc
+        extends [mscorlib]System.Object
+  {
+
+** ERROR **: pending init .abc
+
+aborting...
+Aborted
+
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Basically, .net is emitting a TypeRef for a nested type which is referenced
+before it is defined, even though it is in the same assembly. This is valid
+so it should be handled by mono.
+
+The same .il compiled with our ilasm emits the correct TypeDef.
