+Summary: GetExportedTypes from Assembly loaded by ReflectionOnly causes NullRef in runtime
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+I try to load System.Xml.dll and System.dll by ReflectionOnly and then
+query types in System.dll. But in this last operation runtime crashes.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Compile and run with gmcs
+
+class M {
+  static void Main () {
+     System.Reflection.Assembly x1 =
+System.Reflection.Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom (typeof
+(System.Xml.XmlDocument).Assembly.CodeBase);
+
+     System.Reflection.Assembly x2 =
+System.Reflection.Assembly.ReflectionOnlyLoadFrom (typeof
+(System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match).Assembly.CodeBase);
+      System.Type[] ty = x2.GetExportedTypes ();
+
+  }
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
+set to an instance of an object
+in <0x00000> <unknown method>
+in (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Reflection.Assembly:GetTypes (bool)
+in <0x0000c> System.Reflection.Assembly:GetExportedTypes ()
+in <0x00060> M:Main ()
+
+
+Expected Results:
+Clear run
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+One thing to note is that MS.NET uses some strange requirement on loading
+dependencies first (by for example mscorlib.dll seems to be already
+loaded). If I remove loading the System.Xml they crash with
+
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: Can not resolve
+dependency to file 'System.Xml' because the file has not been preloaded.
+ReflectionOnly assemblies can only be loaded explicitly using
+ReflectionOnly apis.
