+OMG I just had a flashback. Compile your sample with GMCS and execute
+it on Windows and everything will work :-)
+
+I found out (a few years ago) that MS PKCS1MaskGenerationMethod was
+buggy - but because MS doesn't use it (FX versus CryptoAPI design
+problem) it was never detected (i.e. not tested ;-) until I found it
+(using my RSAManaged).
+
+The bug was (finally) fixed in 2.0. AFAIK you're the second one to
+find it ;-)
+
+Now your original problem is probably the endianess issue I mentionned
+before. Try reversing the signature before verifying it (or better if
+it fails, reverse, the re-verify for max interop). If it doesn't work
+then please attach a some sample code.
+Thanks
