+Summary: Error on decimal.ToString (string);
+
+Description of Problem:
+When you want to format a decimal using decimal.ToString (formatstring) you
+get a exception.
+
+I tried this on both linux and windows on mono 1.1.7.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a sample c# source file like this:
+using System; 
+
+public class Foo {
+	
+	public static void Main (string[] args) {
+		decimal bar = 123456789.12m;
+		Console.WriteLine (bar.ToString ("$ ###,###,##0.00"));
+	}
+}
+
+
+2. 
+ Compile it: mcs FooBar.cs
+3. 
+ Run it¨: mono FooBar.exe
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.FormatException: The specified format is invalid
+in <0x003cc> System.DecimalFormatter:NumberToString (System.String format,
+Syste
+m.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo nfi, Decimal value)
+in <0x0006f> System.Decimal:ToString (System.String format, IFormatProvider
+prov
+ider)
+in <0x0000f> System.Decimal:ToString (System.String format)
+in <0x00052> Foo:Main (System.String[] args)
+
+
+Expected Results:
+When i run it with MS.NET i got the expected:
+C:\>test.exe
+$ 123,456,789.12
+
+C:\>
+
