+Summary: Attribute.Equals and Attribute.GetHashCode default implementation inconsistent
+
+Description of Problem:
+The default implementation of Attribute.GetHashCode and Attribute.Equals 
+are inconsistent, i.e. Attribute.Equals returns true for instances where 
+Attribute.GetHashCode() returns different values.
+The return values differ also from the values of the .NET class library.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+
+1. Define a subclass of Attribute
+2. Create two instances of this class
+3. Call GetHashCode and Equals and compare the results.
+
+or with the attached example:
+
+1. Compile the attached example with mcs TestAttributeEquality.cs
+2. Run the attached example with mono TestAttributeEquality.exe
+
+
+Actual Results:
+on Mono 1.2:
+attr eq: True
+attr a1 hc: -1022477504
+attr a2 hc: 892325632
+
+i.e. the two attribute instances are considered equal, however, the 
+hashcode is different (see also: method documentation for 
+Object.GetHashCode -> there you can read, that for two instances, that are 
+considered equal, the hashcode should be the same).
+
+on Mono 1.1.16.1:
+attr eq: False
+attr a1 hc: -1022477504
+attr a2 hc: 892325632
+
+In this case, the results were consistent; but different from .NET.
+
+on .NET 2.0:
+attr eq: True
+attr a1 hc: 12333200
+attr a2 hc: 12333200
+
+Attributes are considered equal and the hashcode is the same.
+
+Expected Results:
+At least consistent results from Equals and GetHashCode. Best would be the 
+same behaviour as in .NET 2.0
+
+How often does this happen? 
+always
