 will attempt to load the assembly by scanning the base directory of 
 the appdomain and the GAC for an assembly matching the given assembly 
 name (the actual procedure is more complex, but you get the point).
 
 If you want to load an assembly using a known file path, then use 
 Assembly.LoadFrom.

+If the path does not contain spaces, the assembly is found, if the
+path contains spaces it is not found. This is a BUG with Mono's
+AssemblyName.GetAssemblyName or Assembly.Load. The above code works
+perfectly with Microsoft's .NET implementation, yet fails with Mono.
+IKVM.NET uses this exact procedure for loading assemblies. Bug was
+confirmed with IKVM developer before filing it here.
