+On Solaris (Sparc) , applications will crash when a class ,such as 
+the one below, is instantiated. There is a class within the runtime 
+called SectionInfo which has this design and will cause apps to crash 
+when DNS class is used
+
+   internal class blah
+    {
+	    bool allowLocation = true;
+		bool? requirePermission = true; // <--- the issue
+		
+        public blah()
+		{
+		}
+    }
+
+it creates the following error
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference 
+not set to an instance of an object
+  at dsnlu.blah..ctor () [0x00000]
+  at dsnlu.Program.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000]

+The following code will not cause a crash
+
+   internal class blah
+    {
+	    bool? allowLocation = true; 
+		bool? requirePermission = true; 
+		
+        public blah()
+		{
+		}
+    }
