+Summary: System.Windows.Forms: message_filters not being initialized
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+Using daily tar archive of mono (mono-1.1.8.20050825), There seems to be an
+error when using AddMessageFilter()In application.cs under
+System.Windows.Forms.  I have repeated it in earlier versions of the daily
+tar archive as well.  It looks like the variable message_filters is null
+and isn't being intialized as a result of the Application() constructor not
+being called when the program runs.  
+
+Adding a simple:
+
+if(message_filters == null)
+   message_filters = new ArrayList()
+
+Will correct this problem, but throws a bunch of errors in other places. 
+Besides, that's pretty much just a hack.  The root of the problem is that
+the Application() constructor isn't being called, as I can put a print
+message in there, rebuild mono, and NEVER see it output when I run my program.
+
+I will attach a test case I whipped up, that demonstrates this.  The
+attached code does compile and run fine under Visual C# .NET
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Extract the files contained in the tar archive.  the .resources file is
+already created, and the program just needs to be compiled.
+
+2. To make it easier, I use the environment variable WINFORMS_DIR, so
+double check that when you export this variable, it doesn't already exist.
+ This is used to reference the System dll files for mono.  For me, I set
+the directory to:
+
+printenv WINFORMS_DIR
+/usr/local/lib/mono/1.0/
+
+3. change to the directory the files were decompressed into, and compile with:
+mcs -out:./WindowsApplication1.exe -noconfig+ -warn:4 -target:winexe
+-debug+ -define:DEBUG -reference:$WINFORMS_DIR/System.dll
+-reference:$WINFORMS_DIR/System.Data.dll
+-reference:$WINFORMS_DIR/System.Drawing.dll
+-reference:$WINFORMS_DIR/System.Windows.Forms.dll
+"/resource:./Form1.resources" "./Form1.cs"
+4. Run application with:
+mono WindowsApplication1.exe
+
+Actual Results:
+I have print statements I put in my mono in order to track down the
+problem, in case questions arise as to my output.  The first non-standard
+line says we're entering the AddMessageFilter() function, the second line
+is testing if value is being passed correctly and the 3rd line is testing
+message_filters for null.
