+Summary: Delegate.Equals throws InvalidCastException when comparing non-delegates
+
+Description of Problem:
+If you call Delegate.Equals(object) with an object that is not an instance
+of a Delegate, it will throw an InvalidCastException.  This is very bad
+when, for example, you have an ArrayList of heterogenous types and call
+ArrayList.Remove(object).
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create an instance of a Delegate object.
+2. Call delegateobj.Equals(object) with a non-null object that is not a
+Delegate.
+
+Actual Results:
+Uncaught InvalidCastException.
+
+Expected Results:
+"not equal" written to the console.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+All the time.
+
+Additional Information:
+I have a fix that I'm about to attach.
