+Summary: Array.Sort(double, uint[]) throws an exception
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+System.Array.Sort(double[], uint[]) fails by throwing a
+System.NullReferenceException. System.Array.Sort(double[], int[]) works as
+expected (or at least does not throw an exception).
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem: (see code under "additional information")
+1. Create an array of doubles with varying values
+2. Create a uint array of the same size
+3. Run array.sort(double[], uint[])
+
+Actual Results:
+System.NullReferenceException thrown
+
+Expected Results:
+Arrays both get sorted in sync, according to the elements in the first
+
+How often does this happen?
+Every time
+
+Additional Information: Exception thrown:
+Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
+set to an instance of an object

+System.UInt32[] items, Int32 index, Int32 length, IComparer`1 comparer)

+System.UInt32[] items) [0x00000]
+  at Test.Test.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000]
+
+The following code reproduces the bug:
+
+using System;
+namespace Test
+{
+    public class Test
+    {
+        public static void Main(string[] args)
+        {
+            double[] a = new double[2] { 0.9, 0.3 };
+            uint[] b = new uint[2] { 4, 7 };
+            Array.Sort(a, b);
+            // changing uint[] to int[] above makes the code work as expected
+        }
+    }
+}
