+Summary: GCHandle.AddrOfPinnedObject() exception instead of returning a value.
+
+Description of Problem:
+GCHandle.AddrOfPinnedObject() throws exception if it has been allocated for
+an object with a value of null.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+Use the following code:
+
+object nullObj = null;
+GCHandle handle = GCHandle.Alloc(nullObj, GCHandleType.Pinned);
+try
+{
+  IntPtr ptr = handle.AddrOfPinnedObject();
+  Console.WriteLine(ptr);
+}
+finally
+{
+  handle.Free();
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: The handle is not of
+Pinned type
+  at System.Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandle.AddrOfPinnedObject () [0x00000]
+
+Expected Results:
+The variable gets a value of zero. "0" gets printed onto screen.
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always
+
+Additional Information:
+Happens with Mono 1.2.5. Shows expected results on MS .Net 2.0.
+Untested under Linux.
