+Summary: SortedList "Contains" sometimes fails with "string" keys
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+Using a SortedList with "string" keys, sometimes "Contains(somekey)"
+returns a "false" even if the key is present (a for-loop confirm this).
+Even "Add(samekey)" works. This appear a "Comparer"-related problem (the
+bisection search fails). Using (with gmcs) an "Ordinal" comparer, the
+problem disappear. Characters like "-" and "'" are more problematic.
+
+I've got the same results under Fedora Core 5 mono (1.1.13.7-2.fc5.1) and
+Fedora Core 6 Test 3 (1.1.17.1-3.fc6).
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Fill an array of strings, with some repeated.
+2. try to add only new keys, asking "Contains" before adding a new key
+3. 
+
+Actual Results:
+
+a list with some repeated keys 
+
+Expected Results:
+
+a list with unique keys
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+with the right strings set, everytime.
+
+Additional Information:
+
+I'm sorry, my english is alpha version.
