+Summary: Assembly.Location should return empty string if assembly was loaded from byte array
+
+(I've categorized this issue as a runtime bug, as the Load overloads 
+taking a byte array are implemented in the runtime. I hope this is ok.)
+
+In Mono, Assembly.Location is not empty when an assembly is loaded from a 
+byte array.
+
+This is documented in the .NET Framework SDK docs for the Location 
+property:
+
+"If the assembly is loaded from a byte array, such as when using the Load
+(Byte[]) method, Location is an empty string ("")."
+
+To reproduce this issue, compile and run the following code snippet:
+
+using System;
+using System.IO;
+using System.Reflection;
+
+public class EntryPoint {
+  public static void Main() {
+    Assembly corlib = Assembly.LoadWithPartialName("mscorlib");
+
+    using (FileStream fs = File.OpenRead(corlib.Location)) {
+      byte[] buffer = new byte[fs.Length];
+      fs.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
+      Assembly compiledAssembly = Assembly.Load(buffer);
+      if (compiledAssembly.Location != string.Empty) {
+        Console.WriteLine("Location: " + compiledAssembly.Location);
+      }
+      fs.Close();
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+Actual result:
+
+Location: <prefix>/mscorlib.dll
+
+Expected result:
+
+No output
+
+I've committed a unit test (in AssemblyTest.cs) to verify the correct 
+behaviour, but marked it with the Ignore attribute until this bug is 
+fixed.
