 The problem here is that mono_type_get_underlying_type() will return
 a broken type pointer, at least in the case of an instantiated generic
 struct. The low-level type is MONO_TYPE_VALUETYPE, but the MonoClass*
 pointer in it points to the uninstantiated generic struct and not the
 correct instantiated one, so when mono_class_from_mono_type() is
 called on it it gets the wrong info.

+As Paolo said, the problem is not with calling/not calling
+get_underlying_type (), but with the fact that the type returned by
+get_underlying_type () is broken, and some info needs to be read from
+the original type. At least we should add some comment to
+get_underlying_type () to indicate its intended usage.
