+Summary: Bug with interop marshaling using UTF-16 and delegates
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+I have reduced the bug down to a small test project.  It works with MS .NET
+but doesn't work with mono.  It involves string marshaling using UTF-16
+strings and the MarshalAs:UnmanagedType.LPWStr.  It works in most cases,
+but doesn't work in this one case I found.  
+
+I will attach two code files, the first is libtest.c which will create a C
+library to use as what to interop to.  The command line I used to compile
+it is in a comment block at the top of the  file.  The second is a C# file
+that interops to the C library.  The command line for compiling is also at
+the top of that file.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Detach the two source files.  Compile them both with the command line
+that is in a comment block on the top of each file.
+2. Execute the mono executable with "mono sharptest.exe"
+3. Note the output to stdout.  
+
+Actual Results:
+Prior to invoking the 'string callback' function the bytes are displayed,
+in raw form the bytes are ASCII characters like this:
+  'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h'...
+and when the 'string callback' function returns it should be the same
+thing, but what really comes back is:
+   'ba', 'dc', 'fe', 'hg' ...
+
+Expected Results:
+  The string should be marshaled properly and the output of the string
+callback function should just be an echo of the input
+
+How often does this happen? 
+every time
+
+Additional Information:
+I'm using RedHat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 and the latest mono from svn
