+Summary: broken string comparison and/or sorted generic dictionaries
+
+The attached test cases (C5TreeDict.cs and SCGDict.cs) are very simple
+programs that perform several basic operations on a dictionary of strings
+(C5.TreeDictionary and SCG.SortedDictionary, respectively), and then
+attempt to look up one of the values mapped in the dictionary. The value
+should be in the dictionary (and iterating over the dictionary's elements
+will find it), but the dictionary lookup fails when it should succeed:
+
+$ gmcs SCGDict.cs -t:exe -out:SCGDict.exe
+$ mono SCGDict.exe
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The
+given key was not present in the dictionary.
+  at
+System.Collections.Generic.SortedDictionary`2[System.String,System.String].get_Item
+(System.String ) [0x00000]
+  at SCGDict.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000]
+
+The underlying bug is unclear. The fact that it's exhibited by both
+C5.TreeDictionary and SCG.SortedDictionary suggests that it's a subtle
+issue with string comparison, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the
+specific problem.
+
+I see this behavior on both 1.1.15 and svn r62176, on both gentoo amd64 and
+x86.
