 Summary: Linux: Incorrect RegistryKey.SetValue() Serialization

 Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.SetValue() incorrectly writes .XML registry
 values in a Linux environment. More importantly, "&" (Ampersands) are not

 This is the expected result we should get.
 
 I marked this bug as MAJOR because the probability of "&" (Ampersands)
 showing up in cross-platform applications is likely, and loss of settings

+After trying more invalid XML entries that could also cause this
+error, such as "<" or "<test/>" I've found that using greater-than and
+less-than symbols in registry key values cause no visible errors while
+running the application, however no key file is created! 
+
+I'm going to start digging into the current most svn code to see what
+I can dig up...
+
+I haven't tested anything yet, but it might be as simple as a one line
+fix to UnixRegistryApi.cs.
