+Summary: Managed pointer * emitted as an unmanaged one
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you 
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+Test case (attached):
+
+*********
+  uint [] abc = new uint [5];
+  fixed (uint* u = abc) {
+  }
+*********
+
+The managed pointer '*' in C# is emitted as E_T_PTR (unmanaged pointer) by 
+mcs. monodis output shows:
+
+        .locals (
+                unsigned int32[]        V_0,
+                unsigned int32* pinned  V_1) ---> unmanaged pointer
+
+Test case compiled with csc and monodis'ed shows:
+
+        .locals (
+                unsigned int32[]        V_0,
+                unsigned int32& pinned  V_1) ---> managed pointer
+
+Note: In ILAsm, '*' represents unmanaged ptr, and & is for managed.
