+Summary: Configuration error when starting asp-state
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+$ asp-state
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException:
+Configuration file 'asp_state.exe.config' could not be loaded: File not found.
+in <0x000ff> System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingConfiguration:ReadConfigFile
+(System.String filename)
+in <0x0004e> System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingConfiguration:Configure
+(System.String filename)
+in <0x0000c> Mono.ASPNET.Tools.StateServer:Main (System.String[] args)
+
+Note that the correct config file should be asp-state.exe.config. If I
+rename the config file to the wrongly expected filename the server runs.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always even with SVN HEAD.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+grepping a bit we find:
+
+$ grep asp_state *.cs
+asp_state.cs: RemotingConfiguration.Configure ("asp_state.exe.config");
+
+Will attach a patch that makes it smart about the config file name (what
+will make asp-state2 work with the correct config file) and makes things a
+bit more verbose to help first timers like me.
+
+Sample runs of patched asp-state:
+
+$ asp-state x
+ERROR: asp-state doesn't recognize any command line arguments!!!
+
+Usage is:
+    asp-state
+
+It loads the remoting configuration file (will try from
+/usr/lib/mono/1.0/asp-state.exe.config)
+and works until <Enter> is pressed.
+
+$ asp-state
+Loaded configuration from /usr/lib/mono/1.0/asp-state.exe.config that contains
