+Summary: Random NullPointerException with array code
+
+Description of Problem:
+In the attached assemblies where a lot of different array types are used,
+the debugger fails if there is an unused field (FCheckPadding) defined, and
+succeeds otherwise. The assembly makes no use of reflection, pinvoke or
+unsafe code and peverifies just fine. I was able to reproduce this on Mono
+1.13.4 on Windows and a Linux build from the same time. It also reproduces
+in mono 1.1.12.1.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Run attached assembly 1
+2. Notice error
+3. Run attached assembly 2
+4. Notice no error
+[optional if you have ms .net installed]
+5 Run assembly 1 or 2 on MS .net
+6. Notice no errors at all
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Original code (which was huge) showed it randomly for calls, this one shows
+it with each iteration.
