+Summary: Regex.Replace barfs on dollar sign-number replacement string
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+Calling Regex.Replace with a replacement string that contains a '$'
+followed by a numerical digit in it will result in an exception or
+incorrect output. It looks like mono thinks that the replacement string
+refers to a group number, despite the lack of braces around the dollar sign.
+
+The following trivial program will demonstrate:
+
+using System;
+using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
+
+namespace ReplaceBug
+{
+	class ReplaceDemo
+	{
+		[STAThread]
+		static void Main(string[] args)
+		{
+			string blah = Regex.Replace("blah blah blah match", "match", "$1
+crazyness");
+
+			System.Console.WriteLine(blah);
+		}
+	}
+}
+Actual Results:
+On mono 1.1.4, this produces the following exception:
+Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Bad group number.

+in <0x00012> System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex:Replace
+(string,string,string)
+in <0x00019> ReplaceBug.ReplaceDemo:Main (string[])
+
+Expected Results:
+Under Windows, the above program outputs:
+"blah blah blah $1 crazyness"
+and then exits.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every. single. time.
