+Summary: gmcs crash generating XML doc of method with generic out parameter
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+XML doc generation for a method with a generic output parameter crashes.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a file doctest.cs containing
+
+// start of doctest.cs
+class DocTest {
+    /// <summary />
+    public void Method<T>(out T result) { }
+}
+// end of doctest.cs
+
+2. gmcs /target:library /doc:doctest.xml doctest.cs
+
+Actual Results:
+
+error CS1569: Error generating XML documentation file `foo.xml' (`Object
+reference not set to an instance of an object')
+
+Expected Results:
+
+Successful compilation.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Every time.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+It compiles fine without the /doc switch.
+
+Sorry if this is the wrong component, I wasn't sure where this bug should
+be reported.
