-Summary: Rapid RSA construct-> random number generator -> NullReference
+Summary: Rapid RSA construct-> NullReferenceException from internal_from_name
 
 Description of Problem:
   When rapidly constructing multiple RSA instances, the random number
 generator throws a NullReferenceException for some of the requests.
 Note: This appears to only occur when multi-threading.  When running the
 tests sequentially, the exception does not occur.

 Strange... seems the typeloader is what's going bad here, nothing
 particularly due to CryptoConfig as we thought.

+Yes, it doesn't look like a problem in CryptoConfig (at least not the
+last part ;-) as the Type.GetType should have thrown an
+ArgumentNullException of the typeName was a null string.
+
+public static Type GetType(string typeName)
+{
+	if (typeName == null)
+		throw new ArgumentNullException ("typeName");
+
+	return internal_from_name (typeName, false, false);
+}

+Thanks for the informations!
