+Summary: [PATCH] Exeptions thrown by Activator.CreateInstance do not match those of MS.NET
+
+When an abstract type is passed to Activator.CreateInstance, the 
+exceptions thrown by Mono do not match those thrown by MS.NET.
+
+The attached patch (which includes unit tests) fixes this.  I also 
+attached a small test app to showcase the wrong behaviour.
+
+Before applying this patch the test app output this when running on Mono 
+(both 1.0 and 2.0 profile):

+
+After applying the patch the test app output this when running on Mono 
+1.0 (compile with mcs) and MS.NET 1.1:

+
+And the following output when running on Mono 2.0 (compile with gmcs) and 
+MS.NET 2.0 Beta 2:
