 You're right about the patch of course, sorry about ...
 
 About your patch: we could still remove the ****Auto icalls, and 
 modify the Marshal class to invoke ***Ansi or ***Unicode from ***Auto 
 managed methods depending on SystemDefaultCharSize, but that just 
 depends on the personal preference of the maintainer.

+About the mangling:
+
+CharSet.Ansi,    ExactSpelling = true -> FormatMessageA
+CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling = true -> FormatMessageW
+CharSet.Auto,    ExactSpelling = true -> FormatMessageW
+
+The latter doesn't make much sense, but it works, though.
+
+I don't see a bug here.
