+Summary: Mono doesn't run interface cctors when accessing fields
+
+This bug was originally filed against IKVM, see
+http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&atid=525264&aid=1255860&group_id=69637
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+The class constructor on an interface isn't run when fields are accessed.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+I don't think you can reproduce this using c# source, and my attempts to
+write some short IL assembler to reproduce it haven't succeeded.
+
+The following java (compiled to a java .class with Sun's javac, and then to
+a .NET exectuable using ikvmc) does demonstrate the problem, as does the
+other test program listed in the IKVM bug linked above.
+
+I can post the result of running 'monodis' on the resulting executable if
+required, but unfortunately this doesn't round-trip properly (i.e. the
+output of monodis can't then be compiled with ilasm).
+
+public class bad implements iBad {
+  public static void main(String[] argv) {
+    System.err.println(iBad.o);
+  }
+}
+
+interface iBad {
+  public static final Object o = new Object();
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+  Outputs 'null' when running the ikvmc compiled exectuable on Mono (tested
+under Mono 1.1.8.1 and Mono 1.1.8.3)
+
+Expected Results:
+  Outputs 'java.lang.Object at e1926e8' or similar when running the .class
+under Java, when running the .class under IKVM or when running the ikvmc
+compiled executable on .NET.
