+Summary: Type System.CurrentTimeZone is not marked as Serializable
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+I'm getting an exception trying to send an object of type DateTime from
+a Linux machine running Mono to a Windows one running .Net.  The 
+exception is "Type System.CurrentTimeZone is not marked as 
+Serializable."  System.TimeZone is supposedly serializable, but called 
+System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone returns something that isn't serializable.
+
+Interestingly enough, when I went in and marked the type as 
+[Serializable] and rebuild mono, I get an error deserializing the 
+object on Windows (it doesn't recognize the type of the CurrentTimeZone
+object).
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Attempt to serialize this class on Mono:
+class MyClass {
+    System.TimeZone  _TimeZone = System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone;
+    
+    MyClass()
+    {
+        // Constructor
+    }
+} 
+2. Attempt to deserialize the serialized data on .Net
+
+Actual Results:
+#1 will fail because CurrentTimeZone is not serializable.  If the class is
+marked [Serializable] the attempt will succeed, but #2 will fail because
+the internal class CurrentTimeZone does not exist on .Net.
+
+Expected Results:
+The class should be serialized correctly, and should be deserializable on .Net.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every time
+
+Additional Information:
+This was observed on Mono 1.1.8
