 Please attach either the buggy generated binary or the IL code so we
 can add it to the verifier test suite. The test doesn't compile with
 gmcs for me:
 gmcs-invalidcast.cs(8,48): error CS0030: Cannot convert type
 `System.Collections.Generic.IList<object>' to `string[]'

+Ok, with an updated gmcs it compiled: gmcs thinks it doesn't need to
+insert a cast opcode when storing into array: this is most likely a
+gmcs bug as doing the cast in IL code generates the exception.
+As for the verifier: this check is currently missing
+(mini.c:target_type_is_incompatible), mostly because it is likely to
+trigger with some methods in the presence of interface vars.
+I'll see if implementing the check makes at least a full bootstrap
+working.
