In the following test case, a call to Attribute.GetCustomAttribute is failing
to return an attribute defined in a base class. It works fine in MS.NET but not
in Mono.

using System;
using System.Reflection;

class App
{
    public static void Main (string[] args)
    {
    MemberInfo m = typeof(Sub).GetProperty ("Name");
    object attr = Attribute.GetCustomAttribute (m, typeof(MyAttribute), true);
    Console.WriteLine ("Found: " + (attr != null));
    }
}

abstract class Abs
{
    public abstract string Name { get; set; }
}

class Base: Abs
{
    [MyAttribute]
    public override string Name {
        get { return ""; }
        set {}
    }
}

class Sub: Base
{
    public override string Name {
        get { return ""; }
        set {}
    }
}

class MyAttribute: Attribute
{
}
