+Summary: Double.TryParse has different results from MS's implementation
+
+Description of Problem:
+When passed an empty string, MS's System.Double.TryParse() returns false,
+whereas Mono's returns true.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Compile and run the following code:
+/* begin C# */
+using System;
+using System.Globalization;
+
+namespace FunConsoleApp
+{
+  class Class1
+  {
+    [STAThread]
+    static void Main(string[] args)
+    {
+      System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new
+CultureInfo("en-US");
+      double dNumber = 0.0;
+      bool bCanParse = double.TryParse("",
+System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Number,
+System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat, out dNumber);
+      Console.WriteLine(bCanParse.ToString());
+    }
+  }
+}
+/* end C# */
+
+
+Actual Results:
+True
+
+
+Expected Results:
+False
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every time.
+
+Additional Information:
+I'm using revision 57653 of mcs from svn.
