Description of Problem:
When I attempt to construct a PageSetupDialog, the constructor throws a
NullReferenceException.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Compile the following code using either Microsoft CSC 8.00.50727.3053 ("csc
test.cs") or Mono CSC 2.0.1.0 ("csc test.cs -reference:System.Windows.Forms"): 

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

internal sealed class Program
{
    [STAThread]
    private static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        new PageSetupDialog();
    }    
}

2. Run the resultant executable with Mono 2.4 on MacOS 10.4, on a Mac Pro.

Actual Results:
I see the following exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
set to an instance of an object
  at System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog.get_UseYardPound () [0x00000]
  at System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog.LocalizedLengthUnit () [0x00000]
  at System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog.InitializeComponent () [0x00000]
  at System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog..ctor () [0x00000]
  at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check)
System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog:.ctor ()
  at Program.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00000]

Expected Results:
I expect to see silent success; the application should construct the
PageSetupDialog and then exit.  I see the expected behaviour using Microsoft
NET v2.0.50727 on Windows Vista SP1, and Mono 2.0.1 on Ubuntu 9.04 (i386).  

How often does this happen? 
Every time.

Additional Information:
The only workaround I've found is to catch the exception & then disable
printing in the UI.  Not pretty, or a decent solution long-term.
