Created an attachment (id=250885)
 --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=250885)
test case containing il, cs and dll files.

Description of Problem:
I'm attaching some code that would be ilassembled with .NET but gives an error
with Mono ilasm. Found this assembling a bigger dll of mine but I'm only giving
the smallest code that would reproduce the bug, it's pretty small indeed.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Get this code into a cs file (or use attached Class1.cs):

public class Class2<T> { }
public class Class1: Class2<Class1> { }

2. Compile, Dissasemble, Ilassemble:

gmcs /t:library Class1.cs
monodis Class1.dll --output=Class1.il
ilasm Class1.il /dll /quiet /output=Class2.dll


Actual Results:

Class1.il : Error : Circular definition of class: Class1

***** FAILURE *****


Expected Results:
The compiled assembly. (Works with ms ilasm (same command line))

How often does this happen? 
Always

Additional Information:
Using Mono 2.0.1 on Windows XP SP3
