+Summary: Reflection/Generics: Error invoking a method of a generic type (argument is generic type)
+
+Description of Problem:
+Error when using reflection to invoke a method of a generic type with a
+generic type argument.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Insert into a file:
+
+using System;
+using System.Reflection;
+
+namespace FLMID.Bugs.ParametersOne
+{
+	public class Class<T>
+	{
+		public void Add(T x)
+		{
+			System.Console.WriteLine("OK");
+		}
+	}
+	public class Test
+	{
+	
+		public static void Main(string [] args)
+		{
+			Class<string> instance = new Class<string>();
+			
+			MethodInfo _method = null;
+			
+			foreach(MethodInfo method in
+typeof(Class<string>).GetMethods(BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public))
+			{
+				if(method.Name.Equals("Add") && method.GetParameters().Length==1)
+				{
+					_method = method;
+					break;
+				}
+			}
+			_method.Invoke(instance , new object[]{"1"});
+		}
+	}
+}
+
+2. Compile it normally with gmcs.
+3. Run it without any args.
+
+Actual Results:
+Unhandled Exception: System.Reflection.TargetException: Unable to invoke an
+invalid target.
+in <unknown method>
+in <0x00004> System.Reflection.MonoMethod:InternalInvoke (System.Object ,
+System.Object[] )
+in [0x00033] (at
+/software/mono/mono.2005.02.21/mcs/class/corlib/System.Reflection/MonoMethod.cs:121)
+System.Reflection.MonoMethod:Invoke (System.Object obj, BindingFlags
+invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object[] parameters,
+System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
+
+
+Expected Results:
+OK
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+Tested in .NET 2.0 and worked fine, the .NET 2.0 assembly gives the same
+error on mono.
