+Summary: XmlIgnore ignored for immutable IDictionary property 
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Under Mono 1.1.3, if a type has a property with the type IDictionary (or
+presumably many other ICollections) which has a 'get' method but no 'set',
+serialization fails (correct) -- even if the XmlIgnore attribute is set
+(incorrect).  This works under 1.0.5.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Compile and run the following:
+  using System.Xml.Serialization;
+
+  public class Blaa {
+    [XmlIgnore]
+    public System.Collections.IDictionary X { get { return null; } }
+
+    public static void Main() {
+      (new XmlSerializer(typeof(Blaa))).Serialize(System.Console.Out,
+                                                  new Blaa());  }
+  }
+
+
+Actual Results:
+Exception thrown:
+  System.InvalidOperationException: You must implement a default
+  accessor on System.Collections.IDictionary because it inherits
+  from ICollection
+
+
+Expected Results:
+Output produced:
+  <Blaa xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
+   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" />
+
+How often does this happen?
