 This SEGV was actually caused by the code that detects type load issues:-(
 We have fixed many places to detect loading issues, some need still
 fixing, but this case was handled already, it just happened to let the
 runtime thing the error was also present when loading the exception
 type to throw.

+MS does not even throw a TypeLoadException since that class is never 
+actually used.
+
+If you'd, for example, create an instance of a type for which the 
+assembly cannot be found, then a FileNotFoundException would be 
+thrown at runtime.
