+Summary: Some types cannot be found though a System.Type.GetType()
+
+I cannot find the System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex type though a
+System.Type.GetType() call.
+
+This is exemplified in the code below:
+
+public class Tester {
+	public static void Main( ) {
+		// To show that the type do exist:
+		System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex regex =
+			new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("Test");
+		
+		System.Type t = System.Type.GetType("System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex");
+		if (t == null)
+			System.Console.WriteLine("Did __not__ find type");
+		else
+			System.Console.WriteLine("Did find type");
+	}
+}
+
+The program writes:
+> Did __not__ find the type
+
+If I try the same thing with System.Console it works just fine.
+
+I am compiling the program with:
+
+> mcs ProgramName.cs
+
+and running it with
+
+> ./ProgramName
+
+
+Additional Information:
+
+I am running Debian stable, with some packages from testing and unstable.
+All the Mono packages are from unstable. Thereofre my version of mcs is
+1.0.4.0 nad my version of Mono is 1.0.4.
+
+I have also reported this bug to the debian bug tracking system
+(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=286333). But nothing
+seems to happen. And other bugs in the same package have not been responded
+to, even though they are 100+ days old. Is it considered acceptable
+behavior, to report the bug to two places under these circumstances?
