+Summary: Assembly.GetType(string, bool, bool) overload be busted, yo.
+
+****Description of Problem:
+
+Assembly.GetType(string, bool, bool) overload fails to handle retrieving
+types from an assembly generated in memory. Works perfectly under
+Microsoft.NET runtime.
+
+Note that this overload only fails when accessing an assembly generated *IN
+MEMORY*; loading an assembly via Assembly.LoadFile() or any other method
+works perfectly fine.
+
+****Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+Compile the following C# application and attempt to run it:
+[CODE]
+using System;
+using System.Text;
+using System.IO;
+using System.Reflection;
+using Microsoft.CSharp;
+using System.CodeDom.Compiler;
+class MainClass
+{
+	public static void Main(string[] args)
+	{
+		StringBuilder code = new StringBuilder();
+		StringWriter writer = new StringWriter(code);
+		writer.WriteLine("using System;");
+		writer.WriteLine("public sealed class MyClass : System.Object");
+		writer.WriteLine("{");
+		writer.WriteLine("public static string foo(string input)");
+		writer.WriteLine("{ return input; }");		
+		writer.WriteLine("private MyClass() { }");
+		writer.WriteLine("}");
+		
+		CSharpCodeProvider cp = new CSharpCodeProvider();
+		ICodeCompiler ic = cp.CreateCompiler();
+		CompilerParameters param = new CompilerParameters();
+		param.GenerateInMemory = true;
+		param.GenerateExecutable = false;
+		param.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("system");
+		
+		CompilerResults results = ic.CompileAssemblyFromSource(param,
+code.ToString());
+		
+		Type myClass = results.CompiledAssembly.GetType("MyClass", true, true);
+		MethodInfo foo = myClass.GetMethod("foo");
+		string output = (string)foo.Invoke(null, new object[] { "Jpop rocks!" });
+		Console.WriteLine(output);
+	}
+}
+[CODE]
+
+****Actual Results:
+
+A tersely worded "null reference exception." Poking a bit under the hood,
+Mono actually complains about a System.TypeLoadException. but don't quote
+me on that - I only noticed the exception rising when I wrote this
+test-case in Boo. In C#, just a very uninformative null reference exception.
+
+****Expected Results:
+
+Invokation of the static method 'foo', resulting in the string 'Jpop
+Rocks!' printed to STDOUT.
+
+****How often does this happen? 
+
+When-ever you run the application!
+
+****Additional Information:
+
+Running under Mono 1.1.8.3 ('or something').
