+Summary: Bug in static field initialization
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Hello,
+
+According to the spec, static fields should'nt be initialized by data in
+the constant table. That's what Mono does.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile this cil file into a pe executable:
+
+.assembly extern mscorlib {} 
+
+
+
+.assembly test {} 
+
+
+
+.module test.exe 
+
+
+
+.class public EntryPoint extends [mscorlib]System.Object { 
+
+
+
+  .field public static int32 m_test = int32(2) 
+
+
+
+  .method public static void Main() cil managed {
+
+      .entrypoint
+
+      ldsfld int32 EntryPoint::m_test
+
+      box [mscorlib]System.Int32
+
+      call void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(object)
+
+      ret
+
+  }
+
+} 
+
+2. Run it 
+
+Actual Results:
+2 is printed
+
+Expected Results:
+0 should be printed
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
+
+Additional Information:
+This is a by design behaviour described in the spec.
+
+When this will be fixed, could the path be attached here ? I've tried one
+things or two, and I'd like to see how it should be corrected.
