+Summary: Regex {} problem
+
+Description of Problem:
+Mono doesn't like the following regex: @"\${(?<var>[\w|_]+)}", because the
+{} is not escaped. This seems like a legitimate error, but ms.net allows it.
+
+I found this code in some .net app but I don't know anything about regexps,
+so I can't say a lot about it. 
+
+Somebody has to look into this, check on ms.net, and if appropiate fix it
+in mono. This might be a bug in ms.net
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Compile and run the following
+
+public class Program
+{
+    static void Main()
+    {
+        new System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(@"\${(?<var>[\w|_]+)}");
+    }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+This message on stdout
+Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: parsing
+"\${(?<var>[\w|_]+)}" - Illegal {x,y}
+Parameter name: \${(?<var>[\w|_]+)}
+in <0x00242>

+in <0x00721> System.Text.RegularExpressions.Syntax.Parser:ParseGroup

+(string,System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions)
+in <0x00012> System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex:.ctor (string)
+in <0x00022> Program:Main ()
+
+Expected Results:
+It shouldn't do anything, obviousely
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+This is mono 1.0.4 package on debian, but I don't think it's relevant
