+Summary: null reference exception in XmlSerializer constructor
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+XmlSerializer throws a NullReferenceException while attempting to serialize
+type 'IList<string>'. Code compiled using Visual Studio 2005, .NET
+Framework 2.0.50727. Executed on linux kernel 2.6.8 with mono
+1.2.3.50.20070406.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Build the following program in Visual Studio 2005
+
+using System;
+using System.Collections.Generic;
+using System.Text;
+
+namespace ConsoleApplication {
+    class Program {
+        static void Main(string[] args) {
+            System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer s = new
+System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(typeof(IList<string>));
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+2. From linux, run 'mono ConsoleApplication.exe'
+
+
+Actual Results:
+
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
+set to an instance of an object

+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always on linux with mono. Never on native win32.
+Also occurs when built on linux using 'gmcs'.
